One Day At A Time In AlAnon

It is a wonderful book for anyone who has a friend or loved one with an alcohol problem. There is a reading for each day of the year. In the index is a list of topics, so if you have a certain problem it is easy to find all the readings that deal with that particular problem. The readings are easy to understand, and very helpful in keeping us on track as we deal with living with or are associated with a person with addictions.
This book focuses on how to make ourselves better and not let a seemingly imossible situation get the best of us. As we make a better person of ourselves, the loved one with the addiction often notices a change in us and wants to do better themselves.
The daily readings were written by ordinary people, just like you and me. It is easy to relate to the situations, and good to see how others handled theirs. This gives us hope for our own lives.
The Twelve Steps are in the book. AlAnon members are urged to follow the 12 steps themselves, and in doing so will see an improvement on their own lives.
It is not a book to learn how to stop the alcoholic from drinking, or to try and change his/her behavior. It is a self-help book. Even if you don't have someone in your life with an addiction, following the 12 steps yourself will give you a better way of living and handling all of life's situations.
One Day At A Time In AlAnon is definitely a book to keep and make reference to every day.
