Reading for Recovery: Serious Help for Serious Issues

A teacher, counselor, and recovering alcoholic with 38 years of sobriety lists 45 books he believes can be truly helpful in achieving and maintaining recovery.. He has tried to present a balanced, useful list that does not adhere to any single philosophy; he has included works of fiction and personal memoirs that he believes illuminate the nature of recovery in ways that go beyond studies and self-help. The compiler has also included multiple works by the late Terrence Gorski, who had a proufound effect on his own recovery.
