Summary: In 1939, the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous published what has become known as The Big Book. It outlines 12 steps in which alcoholics admit they have no control over alcohol and that they need the help of a higher power to get sober. More than 70 years later, many people are asking whether belief in a higher power is necessary in order to stop drinking. Can atheists and agnostics use the steps to get sober?
