I just finished "Under the Influence" and was really curious what everyone else thought about it. There were some ideas in there that I had not considered before and I am struggling to extend my thought process into it completely. A lot resonated with me, but I am struggling with some parts.

I had a similar experience with "The Big Book."

I LOVE "The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie.

I also have gotten a lot out of anything by Claudia Black. I did not grow up with active alcoholism in my home, but I think both my parents did (without recovery). Her work helped me to realize how this stuff can get passed down.

"How Can I Forgive You, and the Freedom Not To." by Janet Abrahms Springs. Her work is really about affairs, but this book was written about forgiveness in general and it really let me let go of some old "stuff" I had about forgiving.

Thanks for this post....reading has been a lifesaver for me on more than one occasion. Off to bed to read a little lighter, fluffy stuff for a bit.
