Amazon Spirit: Daily Meditations for Lesbians in Recovery

Great. Finally a recovery book just for lesbians. It is validating and wonderful.

I have been reading these daily meditations since the book came out in 1995. Since then, I have gone from being an out and proud lesbian living in the San Francisco Bay ARea (who "found" this book at the recovery tent at the 1995 Michigan Womyns' Music Festival!)...to falling in love with a wonderful 12-step man (!?) and embracing my out and proud BI self!! :-) I highly recommend this book as a way to take action on your spiritual path...whether or not you have been able to "Let Go.." of your "drug" of choice (INcluding alcohol, food, reading, etc.)

I've skimmed a lot of different books having to do with personal awareness, self-help, spirituality, psychology, and so on. This book is small but powerful. It provides a daily focus for the overwhelming thoughts, feelings, possibilities, and issues that we have to face as human beings. For those who are interested in growing as people, who realize that the journey is not always an easy one, and who understand that experiencing and facing our truth is important for self-empowerment, wholeness, and well-being--this book can only be an invaluable jewel and tool along the way. It is especially affirming for those of us who are not considered part of the 'norm'--be we lesbian, addicts, people of colour, and/or simply women. However, male or female, straight or gay, this book reveals to one the beautiful wisdom that we often forget that we know deep inside. It's also a lot more succinct than i've been here! I continue to enjoy this book everyday and am grateful to both the author and to the friend who introduced and lent it to me. Thanks Eleanor! and Cherie!
