“The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. Not a “recovery book” but a short fiction novel about personal discovery and overcoming obstacles. It’s only 150 pages, (everyone) check it out.

Sober Letters to my Drunken Self is a good one. I found it very relatable.
I really like the podcast Recovery Elevator. It has helped me thus far. I will be watching this thread for additional resources since I am a newbie to all of this.
