An essential collection of 12-Step wisdom in one book.

• Freudian Sips (Slips) – Humorous and memorable slips of the tongue from the rooms
• Higher Powered Pages – Classic prayers plus the history of the Serenity Prayer and its many variations

Great for:

This book gathers the inherited wisdom of the 12-Step programs — the adages, one-liners, stories, and spiritual reminders we share with each other every day. A practical and meaningful resource for anyone walking a recovery path.

This collection was not done by one person or even a handful. These are your words and this is your book. It is what we say to each around the tables, what our speakers delight us with, what our newcomers shock us with. Most of all it comes from you, your heart and soul and your recovery. Suffice it to say that you too are an author, one of the many thousands of authors who have oft repeated these sayings, slogans, proverbs and prayers.
