Everything AA Reviews

I am a member of Al-Anon for the last 35 years. I have been going to a lot of open AA meetings almost daily from last November to now -April 16, 2023, while on vacation. I’m so grateful for AA and Al-Anon. We will be married 54 years coming up on April 26. I have learned a lot from these AA meetings- such as the closeness and loving support shown to each other; the desire to see each member grow and become all that they are meant to be. The stark honesty in sharing; the laughter that reduces the heavy weight- bearing of shame and guilt; the humility that comes from surrendering self from “not my will but Thy will”. It truly is a spiritual program where God (H. P.) is honored and man is right-positioned and enabled to be of help and service to God and to his fellow
man.
I’m so proud and happy to be a part of this great fellowship -AA and Al-Anon, for truly Alcoholism is a family disease and I feel my God has provided a redeemed and happy way to live and be in this world and in the world to come. What else could we ask for?
Sincerely, Judyj

Like other reviewers, I’ve spent most of the past 33 years leafing through my paper copies of the Big Book and the 12 x 12. But with the addition of a new sponsee who is totally digital, I found EverythingAA as a “bridge between.”
I love having my “books” with me wherever I go, as well as the Daily Reflection (which often provides a topic to discuss with my sponsees).
While I appreciate there are even more features, the ones I’ve mentioned make EverythingAA invaluable to me. Thank you to those that created and so diligently maintain EverythingAA. You and your work are greatly appreciated.

The developer of EverythingAA has created a space for everything any AA needs all in one place. It makes it so easy to engage with the program. You can even pair it with shortcuts to automate things like having it open when you wake up for morning meditation and evening 10th step work. As a visually impaired member, it is especially helpful for me to be able to use these features on my iPhone and to use the audiobook and speaker tape features. Thank you for your service!

I refer to EverythingAA every morning for the daily reflection. I also am able to reference it during meetings when the topic reader shares the daily topic. It’s much easier to use and find passages on the spot than pulling out the big book. All you need to add is a timer for use during meetings (a timer will different, more calming bells and noises than what the phone provides) and EverythingAA has everything needed for meetings. Also love having all the resources (Big Book, 12 & 12, etc) all in one place. Thank you!

Having found myself in treatment for alcohol, I was strongly encouraged to find help/support/connection through AA. I found EverythingAA, and through it began my journey into the program.
EverythingAA is perfect, and contains all of the help and tools I needed to get started.
Almost 6 months sober, I attend in person meetings almost every day, but I still open EverythingAA every day too; whether it’s to read or jump on a Zoom meeting when I need one, it’s always there.
I cherish EverythingAA and am so very grateful for it.
One day at a time.

I really enjoy the ease of use EverythingAA has. It’s a useful tool to add to my toolbox for sure. I love the daily reflection every day and spend my first moments awake in the am reading the big book in app on awakening. I’m also pumped about the sobriety time counter, very inspiring to see every day and makes me want to keep it simple by just taking it day by day, one day at a time. Thanks for EverythingAA and the updates and bug fixes all the time. It’s working very well and I have no problems with using EverythingAA multiple times a day. Keep awesome!

EverythingAA is such a beautiful gift. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I am a Psych NP and have been a grateful member of AA for over 35 years now and am so excited to share EverythingAA with every new patient who could benefit from it. Many, if not most patients I see could use AA, but are not ready to go for various reasons. EverythingAA is a lifesaving bridge to so many. In addition it is a life improving app for so many already sober who benefit from more regular contact with these writings and talks. Just incredible. EverythingAA is simple and works flawlessly. THANK YOU!

I like physical books, but there is no substitute for the utility and convenience of EverythingAA on the go. You have all the AA essential literature at your fingertips and in your pocket. That really helps to take a minute or two on the subway, in the car, or with a cup of coffee to read or listen to a chapter or a daily reflection without any hassle. The day counter is helpful and encouraging. This also includes the most recent edition of the Big Book that other popular AA apps don’t always have. This is a tremendous act of service. Thank you to the developers! - Michael H.

EverythingAA has absolutely saved my sobriety and has been transformative for my life. I still listen to the Joe & Charlie tapes and 12&12 over night. I really depended on them in the first week of my sobriety because it was all that was keeping me sober. Without it I would wake and go find something to drink or take. Your 12th step has deeply blessed me. Thank you eternally. I’m supporting EverythingAA because I believe in it and I tell all my fellow sober brothers and sisters about it every chance I get. Now gratitude list and 10th step? It is absolutely perfect!

Throughout the years when I have used other AA apps they eventually became obsolete. So when I found this one I was very excited. It has everything I need at my fingertips. I especially enjoy the audio recordings. Listening to Joe and Charlie is one of my favorites. I can only imagine how much time and energy it takes to put together and manage EverythingAA.
I download EverythingAA about a month ago and I make a point to share it with anyone who is interested. Especially the newcomers. It’s a great way to stay connected and rual town Montana. Thank you for paying it forward, DANICE.

Having 14,000 some days of sobriety within AA, I love the physical books. What a surprise it came for me to be able to use EverythingAA and pause in the middle of the day in the middle of nowhere and read the literature. To see my days of sobriety as a masthead on EverythingAA to add warmth and personalizing it to make me keen to dig in! It’s those small touches that draw me closer to AA such as when people said, Hi Diane! after I identified myself as an alcoholic. Before I got EverythingAA in February 2022, I never knew how many days I had. And as I have said, that information is emblazoned as on writing paper on the tippy top. As though the literature were written explicitly for me. As the Beatles once said to encourage each other in their early days, “Let’s go to the toppermost of the poppermost.” The beautiful design of EverythingAA is Good Orderly Direction indeed. It’s a humble app and a refuge in time of need to encourage us to humbly go to the toppermost of the poppermost one day of sobriety at a time.

I now recommend EverythingAA as the first thing newcomers should pick up when new to the program, and love showing it to folks who have been in the program for years that didn’t know about it either. Super simple, no ads, no thing but the great 3 basic books in written and audio form, daily reflections, and even the Joe and Charlie Big Book study “tapes” in virtual format. Great place to have the core of the program, and easiest way to reference stuff when you don’t have it around. Thanks to the developers and publishers of EverythingAA !

This is a powerful app. There are certain resources that are accepted as dogma (so to speak) in the AA community. EverythingAA includes those all. I.e. The BB, 12step and 12traditions, daily meditations… I guess the only recommendation I may have would be to include the “Little Red Book”, but I was able to get that on kindle for $0.99. In a perfect world, it would be nice to be able to read the attached publications (BB, 12Steps, etc) with the ability to highlight an bookmarks sections similar to the kindle app.

However, this is a great app. Thank you for putting it out there. The author has done the community a real service and I will reimburse him.

As an alcoholic, I must have an awareness of my condition every day. In early sobriety I was in great fear of this fact…I worked the suggested program of recovery terrified I’d go back to the bad old days.
Over the years, I’ve now come to perceive my daily awareness of my disease as an intricate part of my true self, and the motivator for a life of emotional sobriety as well as physical sobriety.
EverythingAA…of AA approved material, has immensely expanded my daily program. I find so much I’ve never read before! I love the audio options! Lately, I read the “Just For Today” pamphlet in the “literature” section. It has pulled me through rough time.
One day at a time holds potential for a beautiful sober life. I find EverythingAA, a 12-step project by an AA member, to be a spiritual gateway. Kris K.

Thank you SO much for gathering our literature and organizing it so one May access it easily as we develop a New way of Thinking. The Steps give us the tools to see our part in our relationships. When I arrived in AA I was full of self pity and I was such a victim! A kind gentleman was kind enough to share these words
“Get off the Cross we need the wood’
Those words have helped me see and understand what I could not see before Recovery! On December 27th I will have this new way of thinking and life without a drink since 2004. Thank you AA….to all the old timers who stuck and stayed and the new person in pain who can’t see how their using is stealing their joy, freedom and happiness.
AA is a way of life…..on your journey may you find the hope, joy and serenity.

Everything AA is my go to, along with most of my network and home group. Having a Big Book in your phone (pocket or purse) is invaluable.
I use EverythingAA almost everyday.

The daily reading is part of my morning meditation. When I find myself thinking or behaving in a way that does not align with my recovery, I pull this up and am able to redirect my thinking almost immediately.

I cannot stress enough, how highly I recommend EverythingAA. Newcomers and Old Timers alike EverythingAA is highly useful and truly a tool of my recovery.

My sponsor who is coming up on 20 yrs uses EverythingAA as much as I do after celebrating just 2 yrs.

The zoom meetings are top notch! I have met people from all over the world with EverythingAA, who are actual friends that I keep up with today. There is great recovery to be found in the meetings, they have impressed me so much.

Also, the Joe and Charlie recordings are a huge BONUS. My first sponsor introduced me to their stuff in the first months of my sobriety and I’m still listening regularly.

I realize how enthusiastic I am being about EverythingAA. This is the only app review I’ve ever written, I just really love and use EverythingAA all the time.

10/10 Would recommend!

AA, says you can’t do it alone and it’s true. We need all the help we can get even if it’s listening to the big book read in the big book going to meetings and EverythingAA has help me a lot. Thank you for creating EverythingAA making it ad free and also totally free unless you want to help contribute. all I can say is if you’re struggling out there, ask for help whether it be a higher power, which I called God or another alcoholic for me, asking for help through my higher power every morning reading the reflections, and other 24 hour books helps me. Have a good day, and God bless, and I wish everybody out there. They’re struggling the best we do recover we will recover as long as you do with a suggestion say number one asked for help. I love all you guys out there.

I appreciate EverythingAA so much. Im older, my eyes are worse, im hyperactive or hypoactive both. EverythingAA comes out all day. I dont even have games on my phone or laptop anymore. I just sit quietly and read or close my eyes and listen, or listen while i'm busy-body at home or at work, or even in the car. Trying to tell everyone i know about your app! Oh and i also have no money at the moment lol. Thank you for offering it free for those in need. I cant thank you enough. Feeling cute, idk, might donate some money to your cause after the house sells. All that being said... the Doctor's opinion isnt working in EverythingAA audio version. Funny bc i asked my sponsee to read it and we were going to go over it today. Im glad for the opportunity to let you know abt the Dr Opinion and to give you a great review!

Knowing and making the decision to quit drinking was a hard realization. Because of all the excuses or stories I would tell myself. The bottom line is I am not who I want to be when I drink and if it means sacrificing a family or friends, then it becomes a easy no thank you for me. Thank you for the program and this amazing app that has acted as a support in my self-discipline and no longer allow the craving to take control. I still get the craving and because EverythingAA is on my Home Screen it reminds me how many others are standing strong because they are aware that alcohol has a power over them and me also. Everything about EverythingAA from usability and information is easy to use and allows for connection where ever you are at in your journey. Thank you and God bless!

If you are an AA member, you’ll love EverythingAA! It combines so many of our resources in one, convenient to use place. You can READ the Big Book, 12 and 12, Sober Today and Daily Reflection. You can LISTEN to the Big Book, 12 and 12 or Joe and Charlie. The online meeting finder links to the intergroup site and makes it so easy to find and get into a meeting 24/7. You can also track your sobriety time. So many of my AA friends are using EverythingAA daily. Do yourself a favor, check it out! #onedayatatime
