Riassunto:

A central tenet at meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) and Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.) is that anyone can pretty much say anything when they share without fear of interruption or “crosstalk.” This is a good thing, but it can lead to confusion after the fact.This book dissects and explains the sayings often repeated at these meetings—slogans—while emphasizing that these slogans by themselves don’t solve anything: We must work hard every day to be successful.And—although this sometimes seems hard to fathom to those in early recovery—the nature of this work can change: It is anything but drudgery. The despair of active addiction fades into the background, and we are blessed with a joyous, busy, and full life.
