Assembly: 4th Quarter
Committee Chair: Melissa B.
Committee: Literature Chair
The Literature Committee had six members present, and several topics were discussed. The committee began by discussing the update of the language and content of the book, Living Sober, with a report or draft manuscript being delivered to the 2026 Conference Committee on Literature. The overall opinion of our Literature Committee supported a more current update. The proposals to rescind or revise the Plain Language Big Book were also discussed. The Committee supported the development of a process for receiving, assessing, and forwarding proposed changes to the Plain Language Big Book with proposals being collected and deferred until the 77th General Service Conference. Other topics of discussion were revisions to certain pamphlets with a concern for too many unnecessary changes with additional cost of printing. Lastly, the committee expressed interest in the progress of adding the 12 Concepts to the book, 12 Steps and 12 Traditions.
