What a refreshing little jewel this book is! All the wisdom, tragedy, and humor a regular 12-stepper witnesses in meetings is captured in this succinct, accessible collection. Dr. Ron B has taken the marvelous oral tradition of the 12-step programs and articulated them in an elegantly simple series of delightful morsels. I am buying this book for every recovering person I know.

Perhaps the most amazing aspect of this collection of AA sayings and slogans is that I can open the book randomly and some bit of wisdom I need to hear/think about at that moment jumps from the page.

I first obtained a copy when the book appeared in 1994 and have since purchased many copies to give to friends. And, the book is one of the few I intend to always keep as I have returned to peruse the pages so many, many times.
