Big Book Muckers

WE, OF Cocaine Anonymous, are men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. To show other cocaine addicts precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of the book, (The 'Big Book' of Alcoholics Anonymous). For them, we hope these pages will prove so convincing that no further authentication will be necessary. We think this account of our experiences will help everyone to better understand the cocaine addict. Many do not comprehend that the cocaine addict is a very sick person. And besides, we are sure that our way of living has its advantages for all. (A.A. p. xiii, 4th Edition)

Our focus is the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous; we use no other text. The emphasis is on the first 103 pages of the Big Book, which have not been altered since they were originally published in 1939. The process of one cocaine addict guiding another through the Big Book takes between 24 to 30 hours, usually done in one to two hour sessions, typically over a period of two to three weeks. In the process, we write helpful and clarifying comments and notes in the margins of our Big Books, circle important words and highlight certain passages for emphasis. We are called Muckers or Bookers, because we muck up the Big Book! During this period of "being booked", the suffering addict puts into action the 12 steps of the program. We substitute terms and phrases related to drink and alcohol to cocaine and other mind-alterning substances to better reflect our experience.

The purpose of this brief, intense process is to jump-start the program for the suffering cocaine addict. The goal is to facilitate the "vital spiritual experience" as described throughout the Big Book, and to give the cocaine addict the tools to subsequently maintain and grow that experience. Once the suffering cocaine addict has had this experience, we find that the cocaine addiction, that is, the mental obsession to use cocaine is removed. Subsequently, much of the maintenance and growth of the spiritual experience is achieved by working Step 12. This means working directly with other cocaine addicts. Once recovered, the addict is encourage to pass the process on to another suffering cocaine addict -- to give it away to insure immunity against using. While other forms of service are not discouraged, such as setting up chairs, making coffee, etc., this is considered a courtesy and not Twelve Step work as outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Remember, studying the steps is not the same as taking the Steps. The Big Book says, "Here are the steps we took" NOT "here are the steps we read and talked about." The AA pioneers proved that action, not knowledge, produced the spiritual awakening that resulted in recovery from alcoholism or addiction.

If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to recover -- then you are ready to take certain steps. To connect with someone who has recovered, someone who can show you 'how it works', that is 'how to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body', contact us and we will help you get on your way to being recovered.

Remember, we recover by the steps we take, not the meetings we make!
