I just read this book and find it not only funny but thought provoking. It made me think of some of the things that were going through my head early in my recovery. As a recovering addict/alcoholic I find it refreshing that someone besides myself can find humor in some of the past (and sometimes present) behaviors. I would highly recommend this book to other people in recovery.

A lot of funny items within the book.It is a really great way of carrying the AA message.

Most likely anyone who's been around the rooms on a regular basis for more than a few months has heard most of what is in here...And that which they haven't heard is otherwise predictable. Unfortunately, most "recovery humor" is best suited to the feeble and middle brow humor of 60's and 70's Readers Digest, and this book is no exception. It's just plain corny and it's really not very funny. Addiction and recovery can be so dark and edgy; it would be nice to see some of that reflected in the literature and humor.

Great book. A book that help those having problems with Drugs and Alcohol. Like the book says, sometimes we need a laugh to help ease the pain.

Its not funny. Most of the (occasional) smiles you'll get are because the "humor" is so stupid. The other reviewer who called it "just plain corny" is right. I really don't know why this is called 12-step humor. You hear far funnier stuff in meetings.
