One Day at a Time in Al-Anon
This is the first daily readings guide book for family and friends of alcoholics I used in my recovery in al-anon. It is filled with the greatest wisdom, empathy, warmth and love I have ever encountered. I have been referring to it daily for 12 years. I read the date to begin my day and by topic to meet all my needs. It is a book that does give courage, strength and hope to all whose lives have been affected by alcoholism and gives a guide for living for those of us who know we are going to live, but don't know how.

Focused on the wives of alcoholics
I agree with the reviewer who found this book a little harsh. The advice is "old school" al-anon -- focused on the wife of an AA member. It's all about becoming more agreeable, not arguing with him, not complaining when he spends all his time in AA. If you are an adult child of an alcoholic, there is precious little advice for you here. You might want to check out HOPE FOR TODAY or COURAGE TO CHANGE.

One Day at a Time in Al-Anon
Great books-great for daily meditations, great for any of the 12 step programs.
