Throughout the world today more than two million alcoholics and hundreds of thousands of drug addicts compulsive overeaters sex addicts compulsive gamblers codependents and other addicts abstain from their addiction having found a new life by practicing the 12-step program of recovery developed by Alcoholics Anonymous.  Over the years their practices have evolved into a way of life--the 12-Step Culture.. I dont remember my first meeting but Ive been told that I talked for a really long time.--Mary a member of Narcotics Anonymous. AA to Z is the first book to document the richness and diversity of the lives of recovering people and to provide an encyclopedic look at this unique subculture.  Less self-help than enlightenment and entertainment AA to Z is comprised of real-life stories of recovering addicts as well as an addictionary of recovery terminology.  Everything from the well-known slogan One Day at a Time to more esoteric terms like pigeon (a lovingly insulting term for a newcomer to the program) and Wharf Rats (sober Deadheads) is explained with clarity insight and humor.  . How it works you ask--slowly and well.--Cooper a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Conversational witty and engaging AA to Z is a must-have for all 12-step participants and their loved ones and it offers the uninitiated a fascinating firsthand look at one of the most influential yet least-documented cultural movements of our time.
