The whole programme takes 13 sessions, 26 hours, not a year.

Since 2019 Billy has guided four to five groups a year, each of 10 to 30 people. This book is written the way he runs those groups, with all the notes, so first-timers have the same information he does. It is a programme of action, built on the Solution described in the Big Book.
