Big Book's Companion
I feel this book is an excellent companion to the 'Big Book" of AA. This book goes between the lines of the Big Book, in helping people new to recovery, and gives in sort of easy layman's terms what happens in early days of recovery. It is a simple guideline of subjects related to the Big Book, after the first 164 pages, you find stories written by folks who have been sober for a few years. It helps gain some strength & hope that the AA 12-step program does work.
Nice read for those in AA or supporting someone in it
Most people would agree that Alcoholics Anonymous has helped loads of people. As AA would say, over two million members to date are active in the fellowship. Living Sober provides some concepts which should be familiar to the alcoholic but serves as good reinforcement. The person who isn’t an alcoholic would learn how to support someone that was. Living Sober can provide some deeper insights into what would be good for the alcoholic life. I feel it may lack in some ways because years have passed since it has seen a revision. Nevertheless, it is a 5 Star book because of the content and it serves me well in my recovery to touch base on things here and there.
If you want to help, but don't know how, buy it. At least you care and want to help.
I bought it for my daughter. She opened it, said thanks, got a hug. Haven't seen it since. But she's not drinking either. So I don't know. its been over a year and a half.
It's a way of life - live it!
Drinking isnt the wrong life style for everyone. If you're reading this book then you've come to know something about not always enjoying your current life style. Living Sober is a path that is relatable, frustrating and eye opening to the huge potential you have to offer others through gaining an awareness of your own worth.
Living Sober, Really Living
My favorite recovery book because I didn't know how to live sober. This book offers tips on living clean and sober, methods AA members have used for not drinking.
Everyone should have this book!!!!
Every person in recovery should have this book!!!! it’s one that you can read over and over again and go to certain sections when you need a little help- through the day, through events, social gatherings, or just when you’re by yourself in the moment!
an oldnfriend in ebook version
I bought the eBook as a supplement for my e library. I take my device to mtgs and am able to carry many pounds of books with ease now. My 3rd sponsor used to chair a MTG that focused on this book, and I have fond memories of this book in early recovery. It has good advice for the newcomers and old timers. I can pull it up diuring times of crisis, and even enjoy an essay during times when I am not in crisis.
Will give you tremendous insight
In recovery, I have found these subjects very thought provoking and would recommend this to anyone who really wants to know what comes next within the program. I’d also recommend it to anyone who may not be an alcoholic to better understand some of the gears in an alcoholics mind. Good luck either way, take it one day at a time.
