The Promises - All of Them

This is where YOU can participate. With your help, let’s build a list of ALL promises found in the first 164 pages of the Big Book.

Many of us in the Fellowship have heard “The Promises” at the end of many meetings. However, it might be easy to forget that there are many more scattered throughout the first 164 pages of the Big Book. This page was created to provide a place where these others can be collected.

Please go to your Big Book, find, and submit one or more Promises by emailing us at district62aa2020@gmail.com, and be sure to reference the chapter and page where these can be found. These will be added to the list below.
