Take Each Day One Step at a Time: Poems to Inspire and Encourage the Journey to Recovery

I bought this book and The Power of Self-Esteem for my daughter who is in a drug program. She loves both and I actually used 2 poems for a parents' topic at a meeting and they wanted the name of the books so they could buy them. I read my daughters' favorite poem: Autobiograpy in 5 Short Chapters; then I read Recovery is a Learning Process. We used it as the topic relating it to our life in the journey our child was taking and the feelings and walk we are taking with them. A thought provoking daily reader.

This book is a blessing for anyone in recovery, from addictions to codependency. Regardless of the time in recovery, the authors' words of encouragement can benefit a person in recovery for 1 day to 50+ years. Whether the printed words bring a smile, a thoughtful reflection, hope or reminders we are not alone, this book is worthy of a place where treasures are kept.

I got this book after I came home from 38 hours of labor delivering my daughter Meghan Elizabeth who was sadly born still "too beautiful for this world" and I just LOVED the poems, they made me feel more full of hope and so loved. The poems are very special and wonderful to share with a friend having problems, down or upset, or someone who has loss of a baby or loved one, cause many times in life, we need to take it, "one step at a time."
