A 12-Step based Book to Gift to sponsees, sponsor, or your favorite center. Perfect for anyone in a 12 Step Program.

Our inherited wisdom in the 12-step programs has been pithily summarized in adages and aphorisms, wise sayings and proverbs, one-liners and slogans, notes, quotes, and anecdotes. Here is one of the most complete collections of what we tell each other around the tables, in our literature, when we give a pitch, and when the newcomer walks through the doors. Some of it is wise, some simple and some seemingly dim. But remember that our ability to understand and assimilate insight changes both with knowledge, time in recovery, and service to others. What seemed very wise at 30 days may seem silly at three years.

Section One contains Slogans, Sayings, and Super One-liners
Section Two is titled I heard it through the Groupvine
Section Three is full of all our Acronyms such as HALT and KISS.
Section Four contains all those little slips of the tongue that delight and "horrify" us Freudian Sips, oops, we mean slips
Section Five, has the Highered Power Pages which cover all our classic prayers as well as the history of the Serenity Prayer and all its many forms.
