Do Tell!

As AA Historian Ernie Kurtz put it, "e;Storytelling is the essential dynamic of AA."e; Do Tell! contains thirty stories - an equal number by women and men - by atheists and agnostics who tell us "e;what it was like, what happened and what it's like now"e; as they made their way to a life of long-term sobriety within the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is in sharing our "e;experience, strength and hope"e; in recovery that we are able to help others within our Fellowship. There are today far too few stories by and about nonbelievers within "e;traditional"e; AA, which all too often is overtly and overly religious. Thus this book, a "e;richly textured collection of recovery stories by non-believers... a book that would certainly have made a difference in the early days of my stumble toward sobriety"e;. (From the Foreword by Marya Hornbacher, author of Waiting: A Nonbeliever's Higher Power) As the Introduction to Do Tell! puts it, the book gives a voice to atheists and agnostics who often feel isolated within the rooms of AA and is one more step towards reshaping the culture of Alcoholics Anonymous.
