Great daily meditation for alcoholics-- & truth be told, for the rest of us, too!

Meditation can be an incredibly powerful tool for alcoholics on their journey to recovery. It provides a moment of stillness and self-reflection in the midst of a chaotic world. By taking the time to sit quietly and focus on the present moment, alcoholics can begin to gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

But meditation isn't just for alcoholics. It can benefit anyone looking to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and find inner peace. In our fast-paced, modern lives, we often get caught up in the hustle and bustle, forgetting to take care of our mental and emotional well-being. Meditation offers a way to slow down, tune in, and recharge.

Whether you're struggling with alcoholism or simply looking for a way to improve your quality of life, incorporating daily meditation into your routine can have a profound impact. So why not give it a try? You might be surprised at how much it can change your perspective and help you find the peace and serenity you've been seeking.

While this is indeed a nice tool that can facilitate conversation and help open up quiet people, unfortunately, I have found the anecdotes within it to be rather repetitive.

On some days, the "manual" seems to stay away from religious talk, which is a relief. However, on other occasions, it feels as if it is following the pope's itinerary too closely.

If the authors had incorporated some more specific entries and included more interesting examples, I would have been much more engaged.

Regrettably, this book is utter shit. I would highly recommend avoiding it like the plague. It fails to deliver the kind of unique and engaging content that one would expect from such a publication.

The repetitive nature of the anecdotes and the inconsistent approach to religious and other topics make it a rather unappealing read.

There are far better books available that can offer more valuable insights and entertainment. Save your time and money and look elsewhere.

I'm not a huge enthusiast of books that center around quarreling married couples.

In this particular instance, the protagonist and the heroine encounter each other through business dealings. They then fall in love, tie the knot, and continue to work together. Naturally, disharmony follows.

I did appreciate the details regarding the heroine's fashion work. It's quite interesting to note how many of Baldwin's heroines are engaged in the fashion industry. However, the disagreements between her and her husband/employer were rather repetitive and frequently petty.

Even more disappointingly, his attitude towards her was condescending. Whenever they had differences of opinion, he would bring out the tired old cliché that women can never keep their emotions out of business. This didn't exactly endear him to me as a character.

To be honest, I never quite grasped what the heroine saw in him. In fact, I wouldn't have minded if she had simply walked away from him. I'm guessing this wasn't what Baldwin had in mind, but it ultimately made for a somewhat underwhelming reading experience.

I have started reading this book on a daily basis and I continue to do so for most days.

Reading has become an essential part of my routine, and this book has captured my attention from the very beginning.

The story is engaging, and the characters are well-developed, making it easy for me to get lost in the pages.

I look forward to spending time with this book each day, as it allows me to escape from the stresses of daily life and immerse myself in a different world.

I have found that reading regularly has not only improved my vocabulary and comprehension skills but has also broadened my perspective and increased my knowledge.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading and is looking for a great story to get lost in.

I will continue to read this book every day and cannot wait to see how the story unfolds.

Known as 'the little black book' among AA folks, this is a daily reader.

Many people read a passage from it every morning and then contemplate it throughout the day. I have been doing so for a couple of years.

Although it definitely has a Christian bias, it attempts to leave religion aside and focus on spirituality.

It begins with a wonderful Sanskrit proverb.

The proverb goes like this: "Look to this day, For it is life, The very life of life. In its brief course lie all The realities and verities of existence, The bliss of growth, The splendor of action, The glory of power -- For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day."

This Sanskrit proverb was written by Kalidasa, an Indian poet and playwright in the fourth century A.D.

It beautifully emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and making the most of each day.

By reflecting on this proverb each morning, we can gain a new perspective on life and find inspiration to live our days to the fullest.
