BBA is a 12-step-study method using the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous that is designed to bring members though the 12-steps as outlined in the Big Book in such a way that it leads to a Spiritual Experience - one sufficient enough to get and keep you sober/abstinent for good and for all. The purpose of BBA Meetings is to gather together to share our common Solution found in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, discuss and demonstrate how we worked the Steps as outlined in the BBA Workbook, and share our Spiritual Awakenings as a result of working the 12-Steps with the Big Book Awakening method.
