The A.A. Way of Life


 

The Daily Reflection for April 7 is a quote from page 84 of The A.A. Way of Life. I have not found a book or pamphlet of that name in print or online. Does anyone here have information about it??


 

Good question! Any question is a good opportunity for a possible answer, right? :)?

That is simply the book that is now titled "As Bill Sees It." When that reader first came out in 1967, it was called "The A.A. Way of Life" and the name was later changed, after Bill's passing in1971.

The book "The AA Way of Life" was first printed in 1967. Some comments were made about why just Bill's way of life was THE way of life for everybody. So, they changed it to "As Bill Sees It". (I have two of the original copies of the Way Of Life)

There were three printings of the title:? 1st printing in 1967;? 2nd in 1967, and 3rd in 1970.? I got this info from my third printing.? As noted, upon Bill's death, the title was changed to "As Bill Sees It."

Have there been any changes to the content since it was originally published?? One I purchased about a year ago is the 51st printing, 2023.
