 basic , 2008-12-13
This book contains ideas and suggestions on recovery and may be OK, overall, as a recovery supplement. However, the necessary and proven spiritual scope is lacking throughout. The general tone of the book might give the impression that awareness and willpower alone could bring about a lasting recovery. This may be the case in some rare circumstances though by and large and over time a willingness to apply spiritual principles (namely, the 12 Steps), are the chances for long term recovery greatly increased. Yes, the book notes things like having candies and/or chocolate on hand to help stave off cravings; keeping change ready in case you need to call someone, etc. These and more are well and good yet do not address the underlying root of the real problem facing the individual as is thoroughly detailed in, 'Alcoholics Anonymous' (also known as, "The Big Book").

 Women Sober Living Home in Redlands Mydaughtershouse.20m.com THANKS YOU FOR THE HELP! , 2008-12-03
Thank you so much for this wonderful book. We are a women's sober living home in the Inland Empire and our group of women here at My Daughter's House has proudly added this to our library. Anyone in recovery will benefit from this book. We have shared this book with other community members in our Redlands / Mentone area and they have all come away with insight.

Awesome, user-friendly intro to AA, 2008-04-19
This is an AA book addressed not to members but to people who are in deep trouble with alcohol and don't know where to turn.
Long before I joined AA, my sister gave me this book (hint, hint). I was a little huffy about it at first; all I knew about AA was that you could never drink again.
I expected preachiness. And at the time I thought I was a disgusting female drunk and I expected to be treated as such in the book. But from the beginning, the tone of the book was so kind that it made me less afraid of AA.
I know some reviewers found it simplistic, but given that its audience was composed largely of practicing alcoholics, I think it was just right.
I know that this is by far the most useful book I've read for people who are pretty sure their drinking is not normal,but are still afraid to seek help.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

must own book for those in recovery- very practical, 2008-04-08
this is an easy to understand, very practical book, especially for those in early recovery. It gives the reader concrete steps, advice, tips for staying clean when a craving to use alcohol or drugs appear.
this book also makes a great gift to give others who struggle with drug issues, without being judgemental.

AA literature, 2008-01-12
A great book for people in recovery, especially early recovery. You can purchase them in book stores, too, but with free shipping on certain Amazon purchases, why not have it delivered to your door?
