MISSION OF THE BIG BOOK STUDY
	To read the BB section by section, through the eyes of a COE. For instance, the word, alcoholic, will be changed to the words, Compulsive Overeater ... the word, alcohol, to food.
	To gain from the experience, strength, and hope (ESH) of the AA founders...ESH that is used today, in our existing fellowships
	To explore the evolution the BBs spiritual foundation that was developed and used by the founders..... and by people in recovery today.
	To learn the answers to questions such as what are spiritual tools; how does this apply to my addiction; how do I work these BB ideas into my recovery journey?

Recovery Big Book Study Archives The Recovery Group has a decade of archives which will occupy this space in the future.
