most complete book written on how to apply the 12 steps

This is by far the best book written on how to apply the 12 steps to real life. I constantly recommend it. I would like to buy more to give to friends (and my copy is falling apart) but it is currently unavailable. How do we get this book re-printed? It is too good and too soon to be put in book heaven.

Wonderful reading. The book I pick up in times of stress.

I was loaned this book - and have not returned it yet. I would like to get several copies also for many of my friends, who want to "borrow it" like I did.

One of the best books on self-awareness I have read.

I bought this book for myself and gave it to my husband to read. He's is not a person who particularly enjoys or would normally even consent to read a "self-help" book. He did, however, read it and found it very inspiring. So much so that he kept my copy and I had to purchase my own. This book is full of creative ways to deal with our emotions and strengthen our relationships. It is based on the premise that one needs to learn to be at peace with themself before one can effectively deal with the external world around us, and gives effective tools to aid in the process. The ideas are similar to those of say Deepak Chopra's "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", but is a little easier to absorb, as the author uses examples based on his own experiences as a survivor of alcoholism. I re-read this book often to remind myself of certain truths when life seems to be spinning out of control. Just reading the book -- even without doing any of the meditation or exercises -- is comforting. I highly recommend it.
