Book Overview
Answer follows question as day follows day in this beautifully written book of meditations designed to be shared by sponsor and sponsee through a year of recovery. Reflecting the developing sponsorship relationship, these daily meditations take the form of a thoughtful, down-to-earth exchange, suggesting the give-and-take of conversations between two recovering people. Day by day, If You Want What We Have takes up the practical and spiritual questions that arise in early recovery. In its honesty, clarity, depth, and direction, the "conversation" will serve as a trusty companion from fear and resistance to faith and commitment. Helpful for newcomers to any type of recovery: Alcohol or other drugs, gambling, overeating, etc.

Unique format, conversational tone.

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.
