Anyone have a book in mind for early recovery?

I just got "Under The Influence" by James R. Milam, I have read it years ago but about to read it again. It's worth reading.

This book was invaluable and helped me so much: Staying Sober: A Guide for Relapse Prevention- Based Upon the CENAPS Model of Treatment by Terence Gorski. It was the most thorough description and explanation of relapse I've ever seen. And I've read lots! I can highly recommend this book. There's a workbook you can get to go with it, but I never got that.

Still one of the best: The good old AA blue book.
Read it cover to cover, while in detox. Helped me
much.
