This is the only book in the Al-Anon canon that recommends not reading it right away. It's a series of questions the reader answers and a summary exercise that yields an inventory of a person's character defects and character assets.

I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with self-loathing, for it helped me nail down exactly what I've done, who did it to me, why I responded the way I did, and my role in it. Non-12-steppers can just skip the alcoholism questions. A grueling and incredibly rewarding exercise in self-discovery.

This book works with the practice of the alanon twelve steps and traditions, attendance at alanon meetings and a loving sponsor. i have to say though you can purchase it at most alanon meetings which you can find through the alcohol/addiction section of your area phone book. The book [is priced moderately] and should be combined with everything mentioned above. It works if you work it ! Good luck !

Good tool to use in your recovery. Good way to start the process when you don't know yourself or are confused. Helps to peel away the layers.

There was no indication at the time of purchase that this was printed in 1976. The book has changed quite a bit over the years and this puny copy does not offer the depth or breadth of the most recent edition.

Great book for anyone suffering with the effects of addiction in a family or friend.
