In addition to a thought, meditation and prayer for each day of the year, this handy, pocket-sized volume also contains the Serenity Prayer and the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is a simple, yet effective way to help us relate the Twelve Steps to everyday life and helps us find the power not to take that first drink each day.

Both individuals and society are drowning in addictions, says dynamic speaker Richard Rohr, O.F.M., in this powerful presentation. To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, Christians must learn to breathe under water and discover God s love and compassion. Rohr s presentation was an instant best-seller on audiocassette and is now available on compact disc. Renewed interest in Breathing Under Water can be expected as Rohr will be leading retreats in 2005 that revisit and extend the original themes presented in these talks.

Resentment. Fear. Self-Pity. Intolerance. Anger. This cast of character defects will undermine the best-laid plans for recovery from addiction. It's not uncommon for individuals in recovery to hang on to negative, self-defeating behaviors after they've given up their addiction. These are the "rocks" that can sink recovery - or, at the least, block further progress. With more than 100,000 copies sold, Drop the Rock is the definitive guide to removing character defects that can prevent gratifying, long-standing recovery. Based on the Twelve Step program, particularly the principles behind Steps Six and Seven, Drop the Rock combines personal stories, practical advice, and powerful insights to help readers move forward in recovery. The second edition features additional stories, a reference section, and information about starting a Drop the Rock study group.

This is the key text of Alcoholics Anonymous, and was a seminal work in the development of 12-step programmes to treat addictions.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a worldwide fellowship of men and women who share a desire to stop drinking alcohol. AA suggests members completely abstain from alcohol, regularly attend meetings with other members, and follow its program to help each other with their common purpose; to help members "stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety."
AA created the twelve-step program used by similar recovery groups like Al-Anon, an auxiliary group for friends and family members of alcoholics; and Narcotics Anonymous, a group for substance abusers who may or may not also identify as alcoholics.

Women's recovery can differ from men's, and each person's recovery is in many ways unique. That's why Stephanie Covington has designed A Women's Way Through the Twelve Steps to help a woman find her own path-and find it in terms especially suited to the way women experience not just addiction and recovery but also relationships, self, sexuality, and everyday life. Unlike many ''rewritten'' Twelve Step interpretations for women, this guide works with the original Step language, preserving its spirit and focusing attention on its healing message.This compilation of a diverse group of real women's voices and wisdom illuminates how women understand the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and offers inspiring stories of how they have traveled through the Steps and discovered what works for them. The book can be used alone or as a companion to The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
By drawing attention to how recovery raises special issues for women - from questions about sexuality and relationships to essential topics such as powerlessness, spirituality, and trauma - A Woman's Way empowers women to take ownership of their recovery and to grow and flourish in sobriety.
Also available in Spanish.

Journal prompts and creative writing ideas for the person who eats from anxiety or nervousness.
I am a nervous eater. It’s part of my food addiction. I can’t help it, as much as, I try. It seems like I take all my frustration and anxiety out in food. The food does make me feel better for a short amount of time, but then I always regret it and feel worse about myself for eating when I wasn’t hungry. I often wonder what is wrong with me that I seem to feel my emotions stronger than most people and then try to beat myself up for reacting the way I do. Those of you who do the same things know exactly what I’m referring to.
I do find a lot of comfort in journaling my feelings and trying to work out why I’m eating when I don’t want to eat, and what about nervousness and anxiety makes me eat uncontrollably. Maybe it’s when I feel out of control, maybe it’s when I can’t find the right emotion that triggered my nervousness, or maybe it’s something that I was born with, and I just have to learn how to manage it. I don’t have the answers to any of that. What I do know is that writing helps me. It helps me in so many areas of my life, and I want to share that with others. If I can help someone ease their nervousness by encouraging writing about feelings, etc, then I feel like I’m helping in some small way.
These journal prompts and creative writing ideas were designed with the nervous eater in mind, starting with deciding if you are or are not a nervous eater and why.
I hope you find them helpful.

If you've ever participated in a 12-Step program you know it is not easy. For food addicts, it is particularly difficult because you can't stop eating altogether. Food has brought comfort and joy in so many situations that it's hard to give up that crutch.
So, within a 12-step food addiction program, it is very easy to relapse and feel horrible about yourself. These journal prompts were created to help you write about your feelings during and after a relapsed period.
I hope you find them helpful.

Are you sabotaging your own recovery?
To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include:
• confusing self-concern with selfishness
• not making amends
• using the program to try to become perfect
• not getting help for relationship troubles
• believing that life should be easyIn simple, down-to-earth language, Allen Berger explores the twelve most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery. He then provides tools for working through these problems in daily life. This useful guide offers fresh perspectives on how the process of change begins with basic self-awareness and a commitment to working a daily program.

“In a story that grabs you from the start, take a front row seat to Jack’s most embarrassing moments, generally during a quest for alcohol or shortly after the excessive consumption thereof. In this true-life story, Jack (not his real name) finds the courage to walk through the door of his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in a stark church basement. Jack had his first taste of blackberry brandy at his grandparents' cabin. Always trying to achieve that same warm glow he experienced then, Jack’s drinking gradually worsens over several years. Follow him through his struggle to free himself from the guilt and shame of those dark days by writing them out in detail. You’re there as Jack wrestles with the first three steps. Can he be painfully honest with himself as he works through his fourth step?”
Also includes a useful guide to help you map out your Step 4, based on years of accumulated wisdom passed down from sponsor to “sponsee” countless times. Let Jack’s confession inspire you to begin work on your own personal inventory with an open mind and a steady heart. And in the process, find yourself freed. We neither regret the past nor wish to change it. We ask forgiveness and start realizing that the future is a blank slate. We start living in the present as our minds clear of the haze induced by soaking our brains in alcohol. We thank God, as we understand him, for freeing us of our addiction. Jack’s story is full of surprises and enough humor to lighten the mood. Can he find God again?
