Must have for recovery

My daily readers are a must for me. This form is more portable for me as opposed to carrying a book with me. It also preserves my anonymity as I choose. Recovery is priority and twelve step work is a daily activity , just by having this form of a daily reader helps me and I would recommend it for everyone in recovery

Daily support is essential

A daily reminder of who we are is vital to survival in our own troubled world. Must be read with an open heart

Daily attitude adjustments

The beauty of this book is its simplicity. Even on rough days...especially on rough days, it is easy to get back on track with the help offered here. Knowing that it will only take a few minutes makes it easy to pick up and put to use.

Good Insights on learning coping skills

This is about developing boundaries and skills how to be true to myself and be emotionally healthy. You don't have to have someone in your life that abuses substances to benefit

Life-changing

Even though the alcoholic is no longer in my life, this book and its daily readings are helping me to stay positive and live my best life.

Wisdom

This is a daily reader for people affected by the drinking of others. It is helpful to read the experts of others in similar situations.

[Linda Brewer]

Great way of life

If I take what’s in this book and put it into practice in my daily life, it is a great way to live a great life.

Every person in recovery needs courage to change

I am recommending this book because of the encouragement and Alan on principles presented assist the recovering person, seeking healing, hope, and change, to make important paradigm shifts that many people do not find the courage to do.

[Julianne]

If a 'higher power' isn't in your belief system, parts of the book will chafe. However, there are many excellent gems in here to help through your difficult days. I bookmarked and highlighted all over this one.

[Andy Plata]

Great life wisdom

Everyone should use this daily reader even if alcoholism has not affected a loved one. The daily life wisdom will enhance how you navigate the ups and downs of life. Highly recommended.

[Joseph Thelin]

Best book to help keep your emotional well being

The book provides insight to anyone who reads it on how to eliminate much of your human suffering, which is unnecessary, we bring it upon ourselves

Recommended

This reader was recommended to me by my al-anon group. Each day, as I embraced this new way to behave/react to my addict son, taught me the importance of taking care of self first

[Amy Rhodes]

Obligatory

Love learning how to live sober. Suggested by my sponsor to whom I am most grateful. Thank you Liz and AA.

[Marilyn]

Love it!

Very mindful, useful for all situations. Can choose an odd page and will probably answer your question and can calm you too.

[Molly]

Quite motivating...

[Margarita Montez]

A way of life

It is helpful in the daily life of recovery and guides me through a more calm and productive day when surroundings are not at their nicest.

[Mary Catherine Haugen]

Missing something very important

I was upset to see the topics are not listed in the back of the book. That's crazy. It's like your missing half the book.

[Nancy Portocarrero]

wonderful daily meditation

I love to start my day with this and other daily recovery literature, it really had transformed my life ❤️‍🩹

[Nic Sims]

One of my all-time favorite daily readers

[Trish]

This book has helped me change my mood to a more enjoyable life. I have been reading this book for years. It is very helpful to me to detach emotionally, not take responsibility for other peoples problems, and be able to manage my emotions to prevent depression.

[Malery]

There were some good quotes in it, but nothing revolutionary here. DNF. Paths to sobriety and change are varied. This didn't resonate with me when I originally became sober many years ago - and it still doesn't.

[Ann]

Lifesaver!

I've been in AlAnon 20 years and this is my favorite meditation book. I felt like someone was reading my mind when I bought it the first time in 1996. Highly recommend this to anyone dealing with an alcoholic drinking or sober and especially if you grew up in an alcoholic home. ,

[Carmen]

Used this for my first few years for Daily Meditation.

[Curtiss Matlock]
