Fantastically useful!

Its hard to review the app without reviewing Joe and Charlies big book presentation. I dont know how Id even separate them, so I wont!

I used to wish I were an alcoholic because my roommate and close friend got into AA, began working the steps out of the big book, and experienced an obvious and amazing spiritual transformation that continues to this day 9 years later. I was fortunate to be in an area with many 12-step fellowships, and have worked many a program since then with great results. But many of those fellowships, at least locally, did not have a clear message about how to work the steps. We had many interesting pamphlets and shares, but nothing was as powerful as finally being led to work them straight out of the AA big book last year. I think that my understanding of the steps and my recovery grew tenfold when I started doing that.

A month ago, I finally accepted that I was unlikely to listen to my Joe and Charlie cassettes anytime soon, and purchased this app so I could listen in my car. I would say that my understanding of the steps has increased by another tenfold in just that month!

I am so grateful to finally have an understanding deep enough to feel that I can carry the message not only of the transformation we EVENTUALLY get if we keep trying to work the steps using outside literature and our own ideas of what the steps mean and generally just hearing little scraps of what works in the rooms... but of the enormous transformation we can get easily, quickly, and reliably if we just do what millions of people with all different problems have done for 75+ years.

Anyone in any program can benefit from these speakers. I bet that anyone in the world, in fact, could benefit from doing the steps as they describe them.
