Common Sense Recovery: An Atheist's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous

by Adam N.

This book does something remarkable by describing how human behavior and recovery from alcoholism, once commonly understood in religious terms in AA, are now better understood in a secular fashion. Common Sense Recovery: An Atheist's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous presents the key elements of recovery from alcoholism - some of which are detailed in the 12 Steps - in a refreshing and non-religious manner and is helpful to atheists, agnostics and everyone else in recovery in the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.

This book was very empowering to me. It “SHOW”ed me that I don’t have to hide who I am. Although the following statement is not the subject matter covered in this book I feel it is appropriate. I would like to share something with everyone reading this. This is the first book I have read in a single day in my entire life. It was 102 pages, it took me 12 hours. I had to take breaks as reading is difficult for me because I am dyslexic. I have always been ashamed of this. I’m sure that was not the author’s intent, but sometimes we never know how our stories will touch someone else.

Repetitive, but makes a lot of excellent points and in a very respectful and conscientious way.
