I like this thread . Me being a nightshift worker I can read lots but instead watch movies /series ( bad habit #1) I have noted lots of the books you all read and will try and see if they are on kindle or audio .

"The Way" by E. Stanley Jones
It is a book of daily devotions that I incorporated into my morning quiet time/meditation

I got that book in one of the rehabs I attended as well. I "forgot" to return it. Crap, another thing to add to my amends list.

This thread is great. Would be a good sticky.

"Miracle Morning" by Ed Harold. Not directly related to recovery per se, but rather how to make every day count more, which , I believe, is very important part of any recovery.

I am reading a book called "Sober...and Staying That Way:The Missing Link in the Cure for Alcoholism" by Susan Powter, a fitness guru from the 90's. She is the loud woman with the bleach blonde buzz cut whose motto was "STOP the INSANITY!" She talks about the biochemistry of alcoholics as well as her belief that "the government, the hospitality industry, current recovery thinking, and the advertising industry are making sure that alcoholics are not getting the information necessary to stay sober". It is a bit dated, but still pretty interesting stuff.

I recently finished have a little faith by Mitch Albom that was a excellent book

I so badly want to read Caroline Knapp's Drinking - A love story. Usually cost a pretty penny to get these books in SA.

At the moment I am reading a book in my native language (Afrikaans) . More of an inspirational story (non-fiction) about a woman who was raised in a shack. She is currently a national news anchor. I love stories like this one.

A lot of books arrived not long ago : )

Could you get a kindle version from amazon and read it on your computer using a Cloud Reader (if you don't have a kindle )?

I fully agree with the Mood Cure - I read that book a few months back and followed some of its recommended strategies and I believe 100% it works. It is amazing, actually.

Something along the lines of the Mood Cure is the "Vitamine Cure to Alcoholism" - it gets into vitamins and minerals instead of amino acid supplementation, but I have been doing both with fantastic success.

If you like that, you'd also like This Naked Mind by Annie Grace (it's a relatively new one) and Kick The Drink by Jason Vale! Annie's book has scientific research backing it up which makes it hit home even more-so. Good luck!

The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer.
I've read it before, but it's always a inspirational read.

Soberwolf

I am so technologically challenged, I never even thought that far. I don't have a kindle but I could use a Cloud Reader yes! Thank you for the suggestion.
