Since the 1930s, many of the tools and inspiration found in the Big Book have been translated into other pieces of literature. A., I no longer regret the past; I am simply grateful to be conscious of God’s love and of the help I can give to others in the Fellowship.For this individual, it was understanding that physical sobriety could be enough for them at the point on their own journey. Working through the negative thoughts associated with depression can help those seeking sobriety, as overcoming symptoms of depression can also help with efforts to overcome addiction. We can even share our suffering with others who suffer, and hold up a light for them on the road to recovery. I had family, work, financial and legal problems; I was hung up on old religious ideas; there were sides of my character to which I was inclined to stay blind because they easily could have convinced me that I was hopeless and pushed me toward escape again.

To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you.We can put this back into perspective with the realization that the nicest part about going to bed at night is knowing the daylight will come in the morning. To ensure that this form of treatment is properly followed, only AA conference-approved literature can be found within the Daily Reflections book.

Alcoholics Anonymous (The Big Book), The Daily Reflections and As Bill Sees It are published by The General Services Office (GSO) of Alcoholics Anonymous. Luckily, Alcoholics Anonymous was an amazing group that gave me the tools to help me break my bad habits and start over. We discover that no one really wants to be always involved in our dramas, in each tiny success or failure. Now I see how even my most distasteful past experiences can turn to gold because, as a sober alcoholic, I can share them to help my fellow alcoholics, particularly newcomers. Much of the political, economic, and religious life of the world is dependent upon publicized leadership.com is a referrer service that provides information about addiction treatment practitioners and facilities. Lord, may I find a good balance in my life so that I neither neglect myself and my duties nor my responsibility to those that need or depend on me.

Men are lonely and more vulnerable to addictions and codependency when they have no firm friendships with other men. Additionally, since Daily Reflections takes concepts from the Big Book and breaks them down into smaller parts, it may help you internalize and retain more of the information you are learning from other AA literature and in meetings. There was no use in my wondering why or when I became an alcoholic for the very simple reason that it wouldn’t change my condition; even if I did find the answer, I would still be an alcoholic. Treating addiction may oftentimes require additional care and treatment of other underlying mental health conditions, making the daily reflections helpful for those in recovery, as positive psychology can improve addiction and other mental health conditions. That bottom produced a total acceptance of my alcoholism—with no reservations whatsoever—and one that was absolutely essential for my recovery.AA approved literature simply means any literature that reflects the group consciousness and goals when it comes to the treatment path and gaining sobriety.
