This blog is a compilation of commentaries about AA, alcoholism, sobriety and recovery. They were created as part of a weekly email series I send out to the AA Wed Night Riverside Men's Group in Escazú, San José, Costa Rica. We are a Men's Big Book and AA-related literature study group with the aim of expanding our knowledge and understanding of the principles set forth by the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
