Description

This is a book of daily readings based on the developing relationship between a sponsor and a person in Twelve-Step recovery during the course of a year. For each day of recovery, a question or concern raised by a newcomer is followed by a sponsor's response. These down-to-earth exchanges are meant to suggest the daily give-and-take of conversations between two recovering people.
