I have used this meditation book as a recovering person since 1983 and have given it as gifts for years. This is my favorite of these type books because it is not purely Christian in its focus. There are quotes included by many diverse authors(Epicurius, Homer, Thomas Merton, Emerson, even Elizabeth Barret Browning to name but a few). It also leads one thru the twelve steps as a suggested program of action rather than a guilt obsessed "should book".

I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this practice has allowed an awakening to take place and opens my life up to all the opportunities that are available in this universe. Please give this practice a try! This book will help you in your journey of living and cultivating an active consciousness in your daily life.

This little book helps me to start each morning with simple insights which enhance each day's discoveries. I feel lucky to have found this magic book! I like it so much I often give it as a gift to others on their birthday!!

If you are looking for a way to stay sober as an alcoholic, I suggest this book, one page for each day. and the strange thing about it is, that it usually covers the problem (solution) that you are bugged on that day. It has simple and short sentences to remember throughout the day. I have read it now for 3 years and I'm still sober!!

This little inspirational book is helpful to many types of addiction. I read it faithfully even though I have been sober for many years.

I have come across this book in a few "groups" that I have been in but never paid much attention until September 2 writing. I keep this book close at hand even when I am not at home. Each day I read the passage and learn a new lesson in life not just recovery. I will probably have each day memorized by the end of my life since I wake up, grab my coffee and sit down to read todays passage. It gives me something to contemplate through out the day as well as lifts me up and helps me conect with God first thing in the morning. If I am feeling down during the day I reread the passage and remember to look to God for His guidance and grace to help me make it through the day!

I do a daily reading from this & the lanugage of letting go.
Both are an integral part of my recovery.
Its part of the way that I "feed my soul".
If I dont do my morning readings I really notice it through the day.

A wonderful, thoughtful and simple book. Was a tremendous help to me when my head was muddled and filled with fear and confusion. I stole this book from the Half-Way House I was in in 1980. I still use the same one today. It is as relevant now as it was 30 years ago. Would not part with it. Thank you Stepping Stones (Ft. Laud, Fl). I am buying one for my friend.
