Me again...

Just asking for any opinions on which book related to Al-anon you would recommend the most.  I'm looking to buy just one book right now (or check it out from the library) as I'm in a really tight financial situation currently.  So what book would you recommend the most for someone new to Al-anon?

thanks

Hi Reece,

If I had to pick just one it would be "Getting Them Sober". At least I believe that is the proper title.

Hopefully your library has it.

keep coming back, you are worth it!!!

I would recommend "How Al-Anon works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics"

It has tons of basic information about the Steps, Traditions & also about the disease - but mostly about taking care of YOU.

Peace,
Rita

I'm with Lilms on the GTS recommendation (particularly volume one), and if you're strapped financially, Toby will likely send you one free from her website!
