Opis

This book continues the work of the first book. I have had so many ask me to do another one that I did. I have made this one a little longer and a little more personal and would not let go until I felt that is was at least equally as good as the first. Please, enjoy and read it for laughs, hope, and strength and best of all for some of the spiritual wisdom of the old-timers; the stuff all can enjoy, not just alcoholics, but all who are on a spiritual journey. This book was written in the same spirit as your favorite meeting or as the Big Book states - "We are not a glum lot." In one of the stories in the Big Book, an alcoholic' states, ..".the most compelling part of A.A., the part that made me want to try this sober thing, was the laughter, the pure joy of the laughter that I heard only from sober alcoholics." This book was written first, with the hope to spread this laughter to the newcomer that has lost all hope. Secondly, it was serves to let people who are simply curious about the teachings of A.A. and what it is really like and all about. It is filled with timeless heartfelt cliches that are so true, so sharp, they make the old-timers smile and the newcomers cringe. The cliches are used to teach the cure for alcoholism. Each cliche is a parable, an allegorical truth that is then explained using informative information from the Big Book and humorous commentary from a recovered alcoholic. This book is not fluff, nor is it for the faint hearted. The world of alcohol and drug abuse is not pretty, nor one easily explained or understood. This book is gritty, informative, and at the same time inspirational, but most of all it was written with the newcomer in mind, so it is meant to be fun to read, just like the last one. I have tried to get a little deeper with this one, a little funnier, a little more detail, a little more spiritual, hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Bob T.
