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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. ,
