ThThis is the current recovery and spiritual book that I am reading. So far I am enjoying it and getting a lot of wisdom, growth and comfort from it.

Since its kind of on topic, do you know of any good 12 step books that would help me work the steps on my own? I’ve never done it, and I think maybe i should at least once.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous or the Basic Text of Narcotics Anonymous would be a good place to start.

Sharing some links to some older threads with great booklists (so not new books! But good ones) for any newer members who haven’t seen them
Not just books, but a good book list here Resources for our recovery
I find reading about sobriety keeps me focused (64th day, second attempt)… I read Naked Mind and really liked it… This is my second book, im into 2nd chapter and really love it so far [image]
I’m enjoying reading all the sobriety books I can find. I just finished “Drinking: a love story” by Carolyn Knapp. I highly recommend it, she offers incredible insight and she explained myself and the circumstances I have created through drinking to me, if that makes sense. I’ve read Russell Brand, it was ok. Sarah Hepolas book was great. I tried to read “A Happier Hour” but couldn’t get into it. Just looking for some more suggestions! Thanks all!
So this is not my first attempt to cut alcohol from my life. Earlier this year, after a really bad night of drinking, I stopped for 2 months. My head was clear and I was actually happy being sober, but I still craved a drink, especially in social settings.
I found that reading helped me a lot. I read This Naked Mind, A Happier Hour, and The Sober Revolution. I’m looking for suggestions for more books as I set out on this journey towards sobriety and taking back my life.
Edit to add, I noticed the thread is tagged with AA and these book links aren’t AA related. Apologies for any confusion!
