"In this newly compiled version of The 12 Step Prayer Book, daily readings and meditations guide readers' spiritual footing across each of the Twelve Steps. Many in recovery have complicated histories with prayer, spirituality, religion, and a Higher Power. Yet for a strong recovery, we are tasked with building a spiritual foundation in our lives. From Bill P., the author of Easy Does It and Drop the Rock, and Lisa D., comes their set of prayers and inspirational reflections. Presented for the first time as a collection of daily readings to help readers keep an open dialogue with a Higher Power and support their recovery journey, the readings include traditional and adapted prayers for modern audiences and diverse readings from across the world"--

Of the Americans who serve—and have served—in the United States Armed Forces, many struggle with alcoholism and addiction. What happens when the people who keep our country safe need saving? How do we fulfill our promise to leave no one behind?  We show them there are service members who have been through similar circumstances, who can help them, and who might also need help. This book does just that. In this new meditation book, service members and veterans who are in recovery share their words of healing and hope in daily meditations. These people are in a class of their own—they know what they experienced, they know how their recovery has been affected by their service, they know how to help themselves . . . and they know how to help each other.   The voices in this book are unique and will resonate with readers, providing insights, thoughts, and feelings only others who have served can understand and relate to. The same can be said of recovery: we look to the person on our left and the person on our right—and we leave no one behind.

Dawn Nickel, one of the founders of the international movement and nonprofit organization SHE RECOVERS® Foundation, presents a daily meditation book that acknowledges the specific needs of all women in any type of recovery and includes important topics such as substance use, codependency, love addiction, workaholism, eating disorders, and beyond. As a survivor of intimate partner violence and cancer, with over thirty-five years of recovery from substance use, Nickel recognizes the greater risk women in recovery have for developing a co-occurring disorder. “Recovering from all the things” is the phrase she uses to recognize the complexities behind recovery.  In this book, Nickel provides help for anyone who identifies as a woman who is also in recovery or seeking recovery in any area of life. Those struggling with substance use, mental health, and related life challenges will benefit the most from her insightful, nonjudgmental writing.  These daily meditations will inspire hope, reduce stigma, and empower all women in recovery.
