| courage to change al anon reading for today: Walk in Dry Places Mel B., 2010-11-09 Walk in Dry Places is a daily reader for those who seek simplicity and assuredness in their Twelve Step program. Recovery doesn’t settle at physical or emotional sobriety. Rather, it aims to grow in honesty and intention each day. This meditation book, complementary to any addiction recovery, simplifies our daily self-improvement with thought- and action-provoking meditations. Nowadays, there are medications, therapy-based activities, and mindfulness exercises. Undoubtedly, these are helpful new tools and coping skills. For people in recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction, though, the best medicines are still good action and honesty. Addiction treatment, counseling, therapy, and working a program give a good start. For continued results, though, a recovering person must act thoughtfully and truthfully each day. With many years in the program, respected recovery writer Mel B. simplifies our daily engagements with straightforward and insightful advice. Packed with experiential meditations and prayers, Walk in Dry Places ensures continued growth in spirit. It teaches us to extend ourselves into the real world and improve the lives of others—not just our own. Through guided thought and action, we elevate the principles and people that are truly important in our recovery, and turn the rest over to a Higher Power. |

| courage to change al anon reading for today: Stepping Stones Marilea C. Rabasa, 2020-06-16 Addiction is a stealth predator. Unrecognized, it will grow and flourish. Unchecked, it destroys. Marilea Rabasa grew up in post-WWII Massachusetts in a family that lived comfortably and offered her every advantage. But they were also haunted by closely guarded family secrets. Alcoholism reached back through several generations, and it was not openly discussed. Shame and stigma perpetuated the silence. And Marilea became part of this ongoing tragedy. From an unhappy childhood to a life overseas in the diplomatic service to now, living on an island in Puget Sound, Stepping Stones chronicles Marilea’s experiences, weaving a compelling tale of travel, motherhood, addiction, and heartbreaking loss. The constant thread throughout this story is the many faces and forms of addiction, phantoms that stalk her like an obsessed lover. What, if anything, will free her of the masks she has worn all her life? An inspiring, poignant recovery story, Stepping Stones tells how Marilea took on the demons that plagued her all her life—and defeated them. |

It was first published in 1990 to fulfill a long-felt need within the Fellowship for a collection of reflections that moves through the calendar year--one day at a time. Each page contains a reflection on a quotation from A.A. Conference-approved literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, As Bill Sees It and other books. These reflections were submitted by members of the A.A. Fellowship who were not professional writers, nor did they speak for A.A. but only for themselves, from their own experiences in sobriety. Thus the book offers sharing, day by day, from a broad cross section of members, which focuses on the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service. Daily Reflections has proved to be a popular book that aids individuals in their practice of daily meditation and provides inspiration to group discussions even as it presents an introduction for some to A.A. literature as a whole. |

| courage to change al anon reading for today: Change One John Hastings, Peter Jaret, Mindy G. Hermann, 2003 Devised by leading weight loss experts, this is an easy-to-live with 12-week programme with no calorie counting It works by slowly introducing subtle changes to your eating and lifestyle habits, one at a time, so that you acquire the habits and mindset necessary to lose weight and keep it off. During each week of the programme, you simply change one element of your eating habits. For example, in week I replace your usual breakfast with one of the Change One breakfasts, and continue to eat what you normally do for lunch and dinner. In week 2, in addition to eating the Change One breakfasts, you will replace your usual lunch with one of the recipes offered in the book. At the end of 4 weeks, you will have replaced all your usual meals with the healthy, calorie-counted options in Change One and will have built up the habit of healthier eating. Change One is not like other diets. Instead of concentrating on not eating, the emphasis here is on following a healthy eating plan that means you can still eat your favourite foods and you don't need to go hungry. Change One is positive and encouraging: it doesn't say you can never eat out again but instead offers advice on how to eat healthil |

| courage to change al anon reading for today: Desiderata Max Ehrmann, 2002-10 Written 75 years ago, Desiderata achieved fame as the anthem of the sixties' hippie-dom - the subject of many millions of posters and handbills - and famously narrated by Les Crane in his 1971 song version of the poem. Over the years Desiderata has provided a kind and gentle philosophy, a refreshing perspective on life's bigger picture. This new presentation of the prose poem will bring it to the attention of a new generation. The origins of Desiderata were, for many years, shrouded in mystery. Once thought to have originated from St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland in the seventeenth century it was later discovered that American poet Max Ehrmann had written it in 1927. Presented in a refreshingly modern design, Desiderata will appeal to a younger generation looking to find the meaning of life, and to baby-boomers who'll recall Desiderata from their youth. |

He has run away and his father, Traveler McGale, badly wants to run after him, despite being advised not to by his wife, his best friend and the headmaster at Daniels school. But Traveler has been moving through his own life shackled with memories of loss. Loss of a father who was never there. Loss through war of a stolen youth, of friends and of faith in the future. And more loss is coming his way; but he is determined now to hold fast to what he still has, including his addicted teen age son. He will find him and set him straight. As he sets on a fear-laden search for seventeen year old Daniel, he comes face to face with his own troubled past, his own fears and his ongoing sparring with an inscrutable god. Sometimes in life, however, a man begins a search only, at the end, to find ---- not what he was looking for ---- but something else, something precious and totally unexpected. |

| courage to change al anon reading for today: Journey on the Four Hills G.R.G.M. MD, 2012-06-13 Life is often viewed as a continuum that is judged by its ultimate outcome. In contrast, native Americans view life as a journey over four symbolic hills. Birth to teenage; Teenage to early manhood; Early manhood to age maturity; (and most important) The Fourth Hill In Journey on the Four Hills, the author relates the lessons learned in his lifes journey. In relating the way love and fear bent his life, G.R.G.M. leaves a powerful, personal legacy that gives insight into a spiritual life and the lessons that shaped it. Journey on the Four Hills defies characterization: part autobiography, part self-help, part spiritual, and part just plain wisdom. |

| courage to change al anon reading for today: It Takes A Family Debra Jay, 2014-10-21 As the coronavirus pandemic isolates us from many of our circles, the power of family connections to help loved ones succeed in recovery is as essential as ever. Counselor and interventionist Debra Jay shows alcoholics, other addicts, and their loved ones how to work collaboratively and as individuals to take on the roles and responsibilities that support long-term sobriety. Most books on recovery from addiction focus either on the addict or the family. While most alcoholics and addicts coming out of treatment have a recovery plan, families are often left to figure things out for themselves. In It Takes a Family, Debra Jay takes a fresh approach to the recovery process by making family members and friends part of the recovery team, beginning in the early stages of sobriety. In straightforward, compassionate language, she outlines a structured model that shows family members both how to take personal responsibility and to build a circle of support to meet the obstacles common to the first year of recovery. Together, family members address the challenges of enabling, denial, and pain while developing their communication skills through practical, easy-to-follow strategies and exercises designed to create transparency and accountability. With this invaluable guide, family members work together as they reinvent their relationships without the all-consuming dysfunction of active addiction. |
