Review:Highly recommend to anyone who has ever struggled with addiction. Lisa's descriptions of what alcoholism and early
recovery are like rang so true to me, and I have been sober 7 years. A quick and entertaining read. Read more

Review:I've only read thru page 29 & already learned some enlightening things. I can see from looking thru the book that it is going to be a great tool to use while working the steps. The best I've seen yet. Read more

Review:I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK AND ALSO DOING AN INVENTORY. WHAT WAS HARD FOR ME WAS EXPECTING A "BIG BOOK".

Review:I have read this book at least 20 times. Obviously it's worth reading and it magically reveals new information with each reading. It is a can't fail formula for developing self esteem and for maturing into a functional adult. Read more

Review:This copy is clearly a riff from other Little Red Books. Some of the typesetting is a little careless, the spacing and page setup could be better, but it does contain the same essays as other Little Red Books. The thing with this one is the price is right. Read more
