AA members, professionals working in the field of alcoholism, and others interested in the program of AA are now able to access almost every Grapevine article and letter ever published -- all 12,000 of them -- on subjects ranging from anonymity to spirituality and including 150 essays written by AA cofounder Bill W.
With thousands of articles written by AA members between June 1944, when the magazine was first published, to December 2003, the archive offers a vivid account of AA history in the making, as well as a view of Alcoholics Anonymous today. It also makes stories easy to find.
Using keywords, visitors can search the archive by location, author, or subject to learn what AAs have said about such topics as hitting bottom, getting sober, relationships, and a bridge back to life, and to explore how much -- and how little -- AA has changed. Readers may also browse through the collection to unearth hundreds of jokes and cartoons, along with thousands of articles to support their sobriety and deepen their understanding of the principles of AA.
To subscribe, visitors can go to the Grapevine's website -- aagrapevine.org/da -- and select one of these options for the Digital Archive: 30-day access, $2; one-year access for non-Grapevine subscribers, $15; and one-year access for Grapevine subscribers, $10. Registration must be done online.
