Daily Studies

I thoroughly enjoy recovery literature and have my whole reading routine in the morning. Some books I read once a month; some daily. Around the Year with Emmett Fox is more of a religious one. I'm also in a book study with my old sponsor on Tuesday nights, reading The Untethered Soul. We do other books, like Drop the Rock. It's a really good book about Steps Six and Seven of the Twelve Step program; that's what the whole book is about.

I read As Bill Sees It, my Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, the Big Book, and the Al-Anon Service Manual. I also have the Al-Anon Blueprint for Progress. It's over eighty pages long with a thorough three-page character checklist in the back: from "trustworthy" and "prone to gossip" to "envious" and "disagreeable."

How could I carry the message without the literature? It is an integral part of my recovery.

Reading recovery-based literature inspires my daily stride in sobriety.

Today's reading is from the book Leave No One Behind: Daily meditations for Military Service Members and Veterans in Recovery*
