Very valuable info.; needs skilled narrator

Content is very helpful!! Please do the text justice and the-record with a skilled ,experienced narrator. I’ve been an audible customer for years now, and this is the first book that seems to not be a “production”. This book is read in a manner that conveys as if there is no consideration to punctuation, making it very hard to process the content.

Life-changer!

This book has changed my life! Only the Bible is more important to me. The 12 steps work and offer a 75% success rate for recovery (the other 25% see improvement); and I have seen that to be true of the population in my AA meetings. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, please read this book. If you think or know you have an addiction, then this book is for you! God's will be done and may He bless you and keep you.

The book that I wish I could have read sooner.

I bet you thought that you you loved to drink, but the truth is that's not the case.

A lifesaver

For over 80 years, Alcoholics Anonymous has been bringing men and women to sobriety I like no other recovery program. The principles laid out in this book are timeless and should be understood by anybody who is struggling with alcoholism or is in any way connected with someone who is.

Absolute “MUST READ” for those in need! Refer to anyone facing the difficulties and many challenges brought forth from Alcohol

Great content, relatable and needed to understand oneself and overcoming alcoholism. Definitely refer to anyone in need regardless of relationship status. This is the tool, the key, the guide to sobriety!

Divine Intervention At Work

When all else fails, appealing to a higher power is the solution to resolving addiction...conditioned on helping others to find freedom as well...
