Serenity, Courage, Wisdom: Born into the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous - Paperback

by Kathleen Healy Schmieder (Author)

In Serenity, Courage, Wisdom, the practical application of the Twelve Steps is explored through real life events, serving as a guide to daily living, healing and acceptance. Born nearly four years after her father achieved what would be a lifelong sobriety, this memorable exploration of love, faith and recovery offers an intimate look into the life-defining experiences of a little girl growing up in Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. The family attended meetings together for over thirty years, from the time the author was weeks old. Growing up listening to and learning from the testimony of members in both AA and Al-Anon, the book explores how lives are redefined through efforts to recover from addiction and co-dependency, offering a unique understanding of recovery within the family.
