God Grant Me the Laughter: A Treasury of Twelve Step Humor

by Ed F.

Book Overview

These hearty cartoons and humorous anecdotes reflect with humor and powerful clarity how our drinking or drug-using days contrast with our lives today.

"The strength of our recovery is in direct proportion to our ability to laugh at ourselves." Laughter heals, particularly the laughter that comes when we understand the lifesaving difference between "how it was" before recovery and "how it is" living in sobriety. These hearty cartoons and humorous anecdotes reflect with powerful clarity how our drinking or drug-using days contrast with our lives today. Laughter helps us celebrate our recovery and it reminds us how grateful we are for sobriety and for the priceless camaraderie of people in Twelve Step programs.

Customer Reviews

Lame

This book did not live up to my expectations. I read this book cover to cover in one seating and I din't even crack a smile. The best single word to describe this book is "Lame". Disappointed.

Dont take yourself so seriously.

A lot of funny items within the book.It is a really great way of carrying the AA message.

Funny and touching

I just read this book and find it not only funny but thought provoking. It made me think of some of the things that were going through my head early in my recovery. As a recovering addict/alcoholic I find it refreshing that someone besides myself can find humor in some of the past (and sometimes present) behaviors. I would highly recommend this book to other people in recovery.
