I recommend reading this book and putting up bumpers to anybody who want a positive change in life. The first time that I read this book, I thought that it was cool. 1 year later, I read it again. What an eye opener. At first the concept of actually making bumper stickers for myself was a great concept. I am a pretty lazy person, so I did not want to actually do this. The second time that I read the book; I was at a place in my life where I was looking for a challenge. I took the challenge of putting up bumpers in the way that the book suggests. Its a very strange experience. I started feeling better, not to say that I was feeling bad, but I started challenging myself in many ways.

When I started reading this book, I was looking for guidance. This book opened my eyes to God. It bumps you into a better way of living. The fast-paced, informal nature of Meehan's writing lends itself to easy reading. Bumper stickers doesn't look like much initially, but it's filled with tiny

I purchased this book shortly after my daughter decided that she wanted to give the Cornerstone program a try - for thirty days. She agreed to just thirty days of sobriety...that was six months ago. Today my daughter is becoming the young woman she was meant to be without drugs and alcohol. She will be graduating from High School (on time) this coming May. She is enjoying, and is enthusiastic about her sobriety, her life and peers that have a common goal to give sobriety a try. She has her life back, and I have learned so much about myself, and my reactions to things I can't control, and the expectations I had for my children. I must say that I'm experiencing gratitude like I've never known before - just to be able to stay in the moment is very much a relief especially compared to when the child you love so dearly is committing suicide, by abusing mind altering chemicals; because "everyone is doing it." I thought the sleep deprivation I experienced when my daughter was an infant was bad... but it was nothing compared to the not knowing, when, were, or how you were going to find your teenager...fearing the worst of being called to identify a body. This may be a "pink cloud" but it's my pink cloud and I'm going to savor every moment of it. As a family we have identified the elephant's bad breath, and are all committed to making our home a sanctuary. None of this would have been possible without the help of Bob Meehan's books. We've tried many things...including letting a child "hit bottom." Just "smoking marijuana, and weekend drinking" is NOT a phase for many young adults. This behavior stunts their emotional development - hello? Would you put beer in a baby bottle? Following the advice of an addiction counselor I turned my head, not condoning the behavior, expressing my concerns to all involved, but ignoring what my gut was telling me, that every one of us needed help. I was loosing my mind and my sobriety. I didn't know what to do when my children became out of control, I understood what it felt like to live with an addict - truly terrifying. I'm thankful that we are all intact, sober and healthy today. I just finished Bumper Stickers, and I'm ready to get busy with my own "bumper stickers." This book is easy to read and it was described to be by another mother that it "made me laugh at a time when not much was funny in my life. I hadn't smiled let alone laugh for months, maybe years." Although I didn't read it with that much enthusiasm, it gave me a lot to think about in terms of what I need and what I want for my children. The message in invaluable...and will help you get moving especially if you're feeling stuck. What have I got to loose by reflecting on the message in this book, and preparing my own bumper stickers? This is an excellent book and worth every dime I spent on it, including the afternoon it took to read. I'm sure I'll use it for future reference. In fact I'm going to purchase a copy for a family member in trouble.
