If You Want What We Have: Sponsorship Meditations

Different from other "day by day guides," this book features a daily "dialogue" between sponsor and sponsee. The days are arranged one, two, three, etc., and begin with a quote. The quotes are great, from Joan Baez to Marilyn Monroe. Next is an issue or question from the sponsor, followed by a reply from the sponsee. This is a great book for anyone in their first (or any, really) year of recovery. The tone is not preachy or condescending, as can be the case with many books of this genre, but calm, warm and sometimes witty. An excellent appendix is provided in the back of the book, and the index is complete and helpful.
