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.
Alcoholism has been a factor my entire life, my childhood and then my marriage. What books are good to read to learn from. Any ideas would be great. I have some of the basics.
One day at a time. Hope for Today. Courage to Change. All the Al-Anon books that can be found at the World Service Office for Al-Anon. And the best book to read is the book of ourselves with a sponsor. What happened. What it is like now. What we have learned. Where we are headed with our HP's guidance and wisdom and HP's gift of the Al-Anon program. We can read books on alcoholism that give us some knowledge and we can write our own books on how it has affected us and how we can make changes that help us live lives that work towards serenity, living life on life's terms, and finding enjoyment, self-fulfillment and joy by learning how to be true to ourselves as we are and not as the disease of alcoholism would like us to be.
I would begin with the starter pack given at meetings, it has everything you need to begin, the just for today card is so helpful, I also loved the detachment leaflet. I then bought the daiky readers, courage to change, one day at a time, these give you somthing to focus on each day. The hope for today is a daily reader that has many readings about growing up in an alcoholic home. There are also lots of leaflets when you are ready, the merrygoround called denial was a real eye opener for me. The alanon website has got lots of books and leaflets.
