Question Inspiring Books

Just wondering if anyone had an book recommendations, I just finished "Sober for Good" its was pretty good, gives you stories of several so called "Masters" people who have remained sober for 5 or more years and how they did it, the central theme being there are so many roads/programs that lead to sobriety, you just need to find the one that works for you.

Does anyone else recommend any good reads on the subject??

Loved1,

Okay, I HATE being truly female, but damn, I am. LOL

I have been reading a book called A Place Called Self Subtitled Women, Sobriety, and Radical Transformation by Stephanie Brown.

I also read Eric Clapton's BIO and loved it.

I also read Augusten Burrough's Dry and loved it.

I read too much.

Hey Cindi - if it's working it ain't too much!!

"Healing the Addictive Mind" was very good for me (don't remember the author's name).

Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp.

I recognized myself in this book the second I saw the title.

"The Addictive Personality" was extremely eye-opening for me, and taught me much about myself and this battle.
