Description
 
  • An introduction to the core philosophy and daily practice of LifeRing, including the focus on sobriety, self-help, and secularity.
  • How LifeRing empowers participants to change from an addict supressing sobriety, to a sober person who has the power to suppress addiction.
  • A very reasonable and persuasive explanation of the major differences between LifeRing and Alcoholics Anonymous backed by extensive research and clinical evidence.
  • How the program encourages a variety of unique personal paths to recovery, including no meetings at all, as the author quotes research showing how many people get better just on their own.
  • How the meetings work, including participating in the "How Was Your Week" format, with cross talk around the table (no podium), feedback, support, bonding, and connection among participants.
  • Illustrative stories and inspirational anecdotes from LifeRing members, with which readers will readily identify.
