Someone suggested "Beyond the Influence" by Katherine Ketchum and I found it incredibly valuable in staying on track (and in helping my husband understand why I don't have a lot to say right now... my minds still mush.)
Two other books that I found super in helping me become the sober person I want to be are: "What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life" and "Potatoes Not Prozac"
Any other reading suggestions (beyond the Big Book) that you found useful? Its been kinda great being able to read and retain the information

"Sober for Good" by Anne Fletcher.

Awesome, very enlightening.

Also "One Breath at a Time" by Kevin Griffin, and his followup, "A Burning Desire".

Great story, very heartfelt, funny and insightful.

The Craving Brain by Ronald Ruden, really helped me get a grasp on what I was dealing with.

Hello. This is about membership in AA. All others may not be interested. The prayer that seems to be said at the end of the meeting is the "Our Father". An early sponsor and mentor, Ray, pointed out to me that I should make it my business to learn about this prayer. "Sermon-On-The-Mount" by Emmit Fox was the book everyone received as new people back before the AA Big Book was put out. Go to the back of the book, where the Our Father is taken apart, section by section....Long-Time-Sober member of AA, Bill
