The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
My favourite, by a landslide, would be "Getting Them Sober", volume one, by Toby Rice Drews. Don't let the name fool you, but it was a lifesaver for me and my sanity!!

Do you attend any face to face meetings? If so, there should be pamphlets that are free there. All of those are great. We offer new comer packets at our meetings, which have a bunch of literature for our people.
I like the daily readers One Day At A Time and Courage to Change. No matter where I am at they help me. I can look in the index and find a reading absed on what I need, or I can read the daily reading, and maybe think of another part of recovery that isn't on my mind.
Path's To Recovery, is a great book that will help you with the learn what each step means and the traditions and the concepts, it is a great tool.
Whatever you choose the are all good.
Yours in recovery, Mandy

I'd also suggest checking out the Forum, the alanon magazine. Very helpful especially for people who do not get to f2f meetings too often - it has the feel of a meeting for me. Not everybody writing in the Forum has it all together, all the time, but they are all stumbling along with us. It's pretty cheap, too, or I bet your f2f will just lend you old copies.
