This will be from our literature and pgs. 113-114 in the book “Came To Believe.”
Getting Ahead
See if you can identify with this (I can);
“Most alcoholics I have known, including myself, wanted to get ahead. If we didn’t, well, there was nothing so rosy as the dreams of success and glory which subsequently came out of […]
It is my personal hope that I can continue to remain teachable in the light of continuous judgment, character assassination and perpetual anger and hate. Which is why today’s reading is an affirmation, to me…
Learning To Love Ourselves
“Alcoholism was a lonely business, even though we were surrounded by people who loved us…. We were trying […]
From Dick B. on Dr. Silkworth;
“In the course of writing my two latest A.A. History titles – The Conversion of Bill W. and Introduction to The Sources and Founding of Alcoholics Anonymous, I had occasion to look much more deeply into the Silkworth/Wilson/A.A. links.
First, as to resources, there are none better for me than Dale […]
In the “Big Book,” on page 133, it says “We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free. We cannot subscribe to the belief that this life is a vale of tears, though it once was just that for many of us.”
The AA Grapevine has it’s own web site with valuable and […]
We 12 Steppers know that our Program, whatever it is, is a spiritual program. But what does that mean? Of course it means something different to every single one of us, although we often have more in common than we think.
I particularly like Sharon Janis’s book, Spirituality for Dummies. Billed as “A Reference For the […]
As Bill Sees It carries the subtitle of The A. A. Way of Life …Selected Writings of the A. A.’s Co-Founder. Much of what’s in this small volume is reprinted from AAs magazine, The Grapevine.
Not only is it a nice selection of Bill W.’s writing, it’s also got a subject index. That means you […]
The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, aka 12 and 12, is the textbook to the Steps. Written in 1952, mostly by Bill W., this slim volume gives details about working all 12 Steps. It also tells us about the Traditions. Although it was written long after the Big Book, the 12 and 12 is […]
The Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, doesn’t really need a review. First written in 1939, mostly by A.A.’s co-founder Bill W. with the help of maybe 100 original members, it’s the foundation text for all 12 Step Programs.
As a writer and editor in the new century, I can certainly pick at the way it was written, […]
I don’t know about you, but I read a lot - both junk novels and also books that are more interesting. I’ve been updating my www.powerfullyrecovered.com site and just finished the book review section. Take a look.
What have I left out? What have you read recently that has influenced your recovery?
With love, blessings, and gratitude,

I’ve been updating the look and feel of my website, Powerfully Recovered! Yesterday I was working on the book review section and came across my review of Hour to Hour, by Shelly Marshall. She lives in Utah now, and we haven’t seen each other for several years.
I probably shouldn’t have been surprised when I […]
