Alcoholics Anonymous: Pathway to Recovery (1965)
National Council on Alcoholism — First Edition

Offered here is an original 1965 first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous: Pathway to Recovery, a groundbreaking early study examining the experiences of 1,058 AA members in New York City. Published by The National Council on Alcoholism, Inc., this monograph remains one of the earliest and most significant sociological analyses of AA membership, participation, and outcomes.

Authored by Margaret B. Bailey and Barry Leach, with assistance from Paul W. Haberman and Jill Sheinberg, the study provides an in-depth look at:

• How AA works and how members understand the program

• Sociocultural backgrounds of AA participants

• Early drinking patterns and treatment histories

• Participation in AA activities

• Rates and nature of sobriety and relapse

• The role of AA in long-term recovery

This publication is especially meaningful for historians of recovery, AA archivists, researchers, or collectors of early alcoholism-related literature.
