One Day at a Time in Al-Anon Video-Games Hardcover – January 1, 1987

I particularly like the parts in each segment that describes a situation and gives practical viewpoints on how to handle it and yourself in the wake of them. Experiencing an alcoholic's behavior's is like having a real life demon in person antagonizing you to the core. ( i.e. Lies, manipulations, being led down a "rabbit hole" and other things that can rip your heart apart deep inside with false hope and unfathomable aggravation). The messages in this book help you to focus on yourself and eliminate the co-dependent behavior typical in this kind of situation of seeing your loved one struggling in the grips of alcoholism.

This AL-anon book is a great starter book for anyone new to the program.

A daily reader that broadens my perspective.

luv it one day at a time

Daily readings each am set me on right course for the day. A spiritual & practical guide for living a balanced life

I love this meditation book. I use often as I need sometimes everyday. When I first started my program I used it daily. I recommend it if you need a daily meditation book.

Though who provided harsh statements do not understand the problem or program of recovery. Recovery is a hard road for those who live in Denial. I am a child of Alcoholics any spouse of one. If you truly haven't worked to 12 steps you will not understand what is in this book. This book save my life as well as it gave it back to me. Sometimes when you hear the truth it can be harsh but we all contribute to the disease of Alcoholism Whether it's a wife husband child Uncle friend. What's written in this book is true experiences by people of lived with the effects of alcoholism. And those looking at this is an angry wife or the husband with a drinking problem you honestly truly do not understand the program and I would suggest getting to meeting. and learning as much as you can with the help of a sponsor

ODAT was Al Anon's original meditation book. Although it was originally written over 50 years ago, the ideas are still fresh and inspiring. I also enjoy the daily quotes, many of which come from the Bible, or other great books. This program teaches those who have been affected by someone else's alcoholism how to focus on themselves and develop themselves-rather than perpetually reacting to what the alcoholic is doing. It teaches the reader how to develop positive attitudes and a decent life. A perennial.

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 "Courage to Change: 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.

I bought this book for my 91 year old mother whose eyesight is failing. What a blessing - she can keep reading the meditation for each day and stay positive during this difficult time. Although used, it was just like new! Great price, speedy delivery. Thanks.
