Second Reader for Alcoholics Anonymous Early Akron A.A. Pamphlet
Published by A.A. of Akron, Second Reader for Alcoholics Anonymous was created for members moving beyond the initial excitement of sobriety and beginning to ask a deeper question: “What is there in A.A. for me beyond plain sobriety?”
The pamphlet discusses continued growth through a balanced life of A.A., work, play, and love. It also addresses the return of the desire to drink, resentment, jealousy, personal inventory, service, and the practical challenges that can arise after the newcomer stage has passed.
The concluding section explains that its suggestions were drawn from the experience of Akron members, including some whose sobriety reached back to the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous. Early Akron pamphlets such as this provide an important look at how local groups developed and shared recovery guidance before A.A. literature became fully standardized.
This is an undated early printing with the original green wrappers and order form printed on the rear cover.
