their is a print out which is a book mark that they give you in AA, ITS YELLOW and it tells you where to find -the word s-friendship-love-sex-family,ect by page and where it is exactly in the book, but you have to go to an AA meeting to receive this marker. sometimes just reading it for yourself and using a yellow marker to underline these things couldn't hurt either, but the book also comes from the AA group, and its 11.00 dollars, if you go on-line but at a meeting its free.

Page 74: "The rule is we must be hard on ourself but always considerate of others."This is the only "rule" in the big book, though in the "Doctor's Opinion" (xxix) Dr. Silkworth refers to "the only effort necessary being that to follow a few simple rules"The trump card that lets us all hang onto whatever opinions we care to is on the last page, page 164, where we are told "Our book is meant to be suggestive only."With you in the Fellowship of the Spirit,Bob H.Lethbridge, Alberta
AA is more of a faith system than a philosophy.. I guess pragmatism would be their philosophy you will often hear, "if it keeps you from drinking than it's good." You can pick up a "big Book," at a half price and you can get a good idea.. I also have a blog series on this that goes deeper into their beliefs and history. kingez.com/blog/2008/11/13/aa-cult-of-a-stolen-god/
