Living the Promises

LIVING THE PROMISES is a personal, warm 365 reader which includes quotes and exhortations, celebrations and lists of thanks and all manner of real-life inspirations. Each month begins with a promise and each day explores that promise. Jennifer Madson shares her ongoing story of recovery: what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now, not with 'drunkalogues,' but with stories and sayings and strategies that will help you or someone you know get sober, stay sober, and live a life of joy. LIVING THE PROMISES is the first meditation book to be based specifically on the 12 promises of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, and is the perfect daily guide for anyone in recovery seeking peace and healing. Among those promises are: 'We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.'-From The Promises, Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism'Jenifer's book is a must for your morning meditation or night stand, or both. She writes with such clarity about the journey we share in light of the 'promises' made to us in the Big Book. You will enjoy every morsel of this book.
