Courage to Change: One Day at a Time in Al-Anon II

I use this book often and i've given copies away. I often need to get myself another!

Highly recommend this Great modern sequel to the 1968 One Day at a Time in Al-Anon book. A++ Creative and well done version with lots of references to famous authors' material and quotes.

I read this book almost everyday (whenever I remember). It’s fantastic for me as I’m a newcomer in Alanon and it helps to reinforce the principles of the recovery program and teaches me something new everyday that I really do use in my every day life and relationships.

This book is invaluable to anyone who is or has suffered because of an alcoholic friend or relative. It contains daily readings for each day of the year, including leap years, that are insightful and helpful in finding and retaining serenity when following the Al-Anon programme of recovery.The book also contains the Suggested preamble to the twelve steps, the Serenity prayer, a list of the Al-Anon slogans, the twelve steps, traditions and concepts of service of Al-Anon, the general warranties of the conference and an index of subjects in the book.This book can be helpful to anyone who was or is affected by someone else's drinking on its own, although I would personally recommend using it in conjunction with another Al-Anon book "One day at Time in Al-Anon" as well as attending meetings which offer hope and comfort by sharing of experiences in total confidence. Another helpful Al-Anon book would be "Hope for Today" aimed at adult children of Alcoholics but contains many insightful, helpful daily readings for anyone affected by someone else's drinking.The index of subjects contained at the end of this book is great when you feel the Serenity of the programme slipping from you. You can pick a topic most suited to how you are feeling and read related readings to help you get back on track.I've been in Al-Anon for nearly a year and this book has been instrumental, combined with my weekly meeting, in my own recovery and the list of subjects at the end has helped me through some dark moments as well as moments of joy and relief. This programme may not be for everyone but in the darkest grips of the disease of alcoholism it cannot hurt to try something that may help you to find joy in life again and Al-Anon meetings and literature could help you and I would urge anyone in this situation to give it a try. I don't know where I would be without it. All the best to anyone in this situation and I hope that you too can find the help and serenity I have received through this programme.

Very inspiring. the prefect start in to the day. it helps to stay focused and in tune with with your Higher Power ;)
