Courage to Change: One Day at a Time in Al-Anon II Hardcover – 1 Jan. 1992

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.

One day at a time readings for people from all walks of life who have a relationship with a loved one who has a problem with alcohol but could be used for any addiction. Helps you to look at yourself as you go through.. what we learn to do we learn by doing!

ideal for those who have an alcoholic in their life. It will help you to cope and find serenity just one day at a time. Its also an excellent guide for life suitable for everyone

I was eXpecting a full size book so was surprised at the pocket book size. It’s actually a lot better to use as it’s more a book of reminders for each day. It’s invaluable for helping you get through the tough times of uncertainty and despair. I would say it’s a guide for life and not just for relatives and friend of alcoholics

A daily life line of daily readings whilst I am in recovery through Alanon. Connection and discovering my own self worth makes this a valuable purchase. I flick through the index if I have a particular need and I’m taken straight to a beautiful daily reading. I truly love this book

If you work a 12 step programme, in any fellowship, this book will benefit you with all your relationships,it can also benefit you if your new to recovery, and not sure if you are yet a member, highly recommend for any Al annon or AA person, changed my life with positive behaviours practised to the best of my ability, one day at a time 🙏🏼

Delivery took a bit but very pleased with condition of the book. Thank you!

I'm really impressed with the condition of this "used" book. Absolutely feels brand new and unread. Very good value. Thanks
