Lobsters are invertebrates, members of the Class Crustacea of the Phylum Arthropoda. This class includes animals without backbones and with hard shells like crab, shrimp, crayfish, water fleas and wood lice. A male lobster is called a cock and a female a hen or chicken (when she weighs about 1 pound).
The Big Book serves as the basis of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). It contains the 12 steps that are at the core of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, as well as stories about alcoholics who have been through the recovery process.
Alcoholics Anonymous is often referred to as a 12-step program, and AA is the basis for many other 12-step programs that have been established. These 12 steps are outlined in Chapter 5, How It Works, of the Big Book.
