Synopsis

Clean & Sober with our 12-Step Sponsors/honoring our Curvaceous Recovery Gals

From the authors of Hazelden's classic Day By Day, from the Old-timers in the fellowship, comes a unique way to support your recovery.This is the original Pocket Sponsor with a lovely curvaceous model on the cover. Women are often held to a different standard regarding what is considered a normal body type--so here at Day By Day, we use all body types in recovery for our covers, not just athletic types. Jeans are the Day By Day visual tag--all our covers have some sort of jeans on them. But our covers vary as we update and upgrade. Some covers are guys, some gals, some photos and some illustrations. This one is a lovely, full figured Latina model in jeans. It has proved very popular with many of our customers and so we offer this version with it's own bar code, so when you order your books, you can be sure to get the curvaceous cover, if you prefer her.

Benefits:
a) Lower price than other fellowship meditation books,
b) 744 back-to-the-basics meditations,
c) Solid 12 Step support
d) Instant recovery messages for every hour
e) What your Sponsor would tell you if your sponsor were there
This is your first choice in addiction recovery support. The Pocket Sponsor is a basic 24/7 form of support and contains a 12 Step message for every hour of the day for 31 days. These messages come straight from the original Old-timers and contain their 12-Step slogans with no-bull help for the HALT moments.

Give this gift to those you sponsor or better yet give it to your sponsor! Read it first thing in the morning, carry it to work, use it in meetings, and read before bed. Open the book, turn to the day and time, and read a new sobriety message every time you pick it up.

Remember those meetings when the topic 'just happened' to be about that thing you worried about all day? That is how the Pocket Sponsor works--chuck full of God-incidences. You get the message you need right when you need it. How does the book do that? Get one and see. Let the Old-timer's words support you around the clock.

The sobriety messages are laced with a bit of humor and a lot of wisdom, just what your sponsor would tell you if your sponsor were there. Buy it now, and carry a little bit of fellowship with you wherever you go.

About this title

About the Author

This book is a compilation of the words of the Old-timers in 12 Step programs. It is the sharing we hear around the tables and at meetings--it is the words of our sponsors and the stories we tell each other to stay clean and sober. Sometimes they make us laugh and sometimes cringe--so the 'author' is the people who make up the Fellowship: sponsors, meeting greeters, sponsees, speakers, chairs, the ones opening the doors and washing the coffee cups, the ones crying and the ones handing them a tissue, the 12 Steppers, the ones answering the hot lines, those that volunteer to read at a meeting, in other words the author is YOU.

Review

There's NO other book that's SO strong and right-to-the-point in supporting folks in addiction recovery. The Pocket Sponsor grounds them when they need it and picks them up when they fall. --Toby Rice Drews, Author Getting Them Sober

Whether you are new to recovery or have more time, THE POCKET SPONSOR is a wonderful book to carry with you at all times. You can turn to any page, read any hour and you will be filled with words of inspiration and hope. --Ruth Fishel, Author The Journey Within: A Spiritual Path to Recovery

This little paperback became a big seller at Serenity by the Sea when author (also author of Day By Day and Young,Sober, & Free, and other popular recovery books) held a book signing. Shelly designed this book to be read at the HALT moments. This exceptional support book also has a phone list for the number of your sponsor and others in your recovery circle. Whether you are new to recovery or have more program time, Pocket Sponsor is a wonderful book filled with words of inspiration and hope. It's a must for people in recovery. --Body, Mind, & Spirit, review
