Описание книги

A.A.’s how-to manual for staying sober in everyday situations, this widely read booklet demonstrates through simple examples how A.A. members throughout the world live their lives to the fullest while staying sober one day at a time. From the foreword: “Living sober turns out to be not at all grim, boring and uncomfortable, as we had feared, but rather something we begin to enjoy and find much more exciting than our drinking days.”<br>
Responding to commonly asked questions such as “Should I go into bars?” and “Should I seek professional help?” and covering popular topics such as romantic relationships in sobriety, <i>Living Sober</i> offers suggestions that can, over time, help alcoholics replace their old, destructive habits with new, healthier ones. <br>
An especially useful resource for the newcomer to Alcoholics Anonymous, <i>Living Sober</i> has helped countless A.A. members meet “life on life’s terms” while they move forward on their recovery path. <br>
<i>Living Sober</i> has been approved by the General Service Conference.

Отрывок из книги

Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., New York

We knew lots of people who drank more than we did, and people who could not handle their drinks at all. We were not like that. So the suggestion that maybe we should “stay sober” was almost insulting.

.....

The point is, there is no prescribed A.A. “right” way or “wrong” way. Each of us uses what is best for himself or herself—without closing the door on other kinds of help we may find valuable at another time. And each of us tries to respect others’ rights to do things differently.

Sometimes, an A.A. member will talk about taking the various parts of the program in cafeteria style—selecting what he likes and letting alone what he does not want. Maybe others will come along and pick up the unwanted parts—or maybe that member himself will go back later and take some of the ideas he previously rejected.
