An excerpt from "A.A. In Prison - Inmate to Inmate"

"At about the same time, I got "political" in the A.A. program here. (I was phony as a three dollar bill at this point.) I hustled enough support and votes to win the secretary's spot. I was a big shot in one of the largest A.A. groups in the Texas Department of Corrections.  Then the monkey wrench got thrown into the old machine. I decided to start reading the books about the program. I did it because I didn't want to be embarrassed. I was afraid someone might ask me questions I could not answer.  Well, most of you A.A.'s know the rest of the story-I got hooked on the program! And the battle with my conscience began.  In closing, I want to say this to any newcomers to prison A.A. programs: The meat of the program is the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. Pick this book up and read it from cover to cover. You'll be glad you  did."  Stan - Texas

PPAW is committed to getting A.A. Big Books into correctional facilities in Queens County.  Working directly with the NY Intergroup's Corrections Committee, we are looking for Big Book donations.  PPAW is a Big Book study and the group conscience was that when making the decision to participate in this program, it made most sense for us to help get Big Books into these facilitates.

We Need Your Help!

If you are willing to donate a Big Book to this service, please email us at info@ppawaa.org and we will work with you to get your donation taken care of.
