Someone once told me that if I'm not working on my recovery, I'm working on my relapse. I find that one of the best ways for me to work on my recovery is to read about how others have recovered. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Basic Text of Narcotics Anonymous are obvious winners and top my reading list. They both are inspirational and motivational and a great way for me to kick off my day with an attitude of gratitude. My requirements for other books that I read are that they are positive, factual, spiratual, and don't engage in gratifying the lifestyle that I have grown to dispise. I am aware of the fact that you are what you eat. I also believe that you are what you read. Garbage in, garbage out.
