The Wisdom of the Rooms: 12 Months of Reflections for People in Recovery

After reading today’s wisdom gift, “My mind is like a bad neighborhood, I don’t go in it alone”, I felt compelled to share this with others. I’ve always experienced that my “thinking” is my downfall. I feel the author has written this book, using my pen, my dreams. He’s lived my life and offers me the possibility of actually moving past “just the motions of being alive”. I relate, I feel safe, and I no longer feel alone reading these “dailies”… and more than once a day, btw! Wisdom of the Rooms is the most sensitive, insightful, and powerful recovery tool I have ever experienced. The author has clearly ‘walked the path’ and gives each of us the roadmap to meet, accept, and move past the “life” of daily life. I’ve found someone who understands me and gets it… a lifetime companion I’ll never meet face-to-face, but always heart-to-heart. WOW.

I have over a dozen daily devotionals. This is my favorite because it is unlike the others. This format is usually three paragraphs long , explaining what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now. I love it. This is the first thing I have written a review for. It is because I really appreciate the book and the daily wisdom it imparts.

This is the most amazing daily reflection. I call it the pocket sponsor. It truly does have the wisdom of the rooms and it’s insight into living sober and emotional sobriety blow me away every day. I asked my sponsees to buy it and I have bought multiple books to give as gifts. Love this. Highly recommend

I expected to like this book of daily reads and I was not disappointed! The powerful one-page dailies are quick reads so that I can always find time to jump start day with a boost of sane thinking.

I have been enjoying the Wisdom of the Rooms for years on email and I love the paper bound version of all the wisdom in one place. This is an awesome book of daily reflections that keeps me in the solution and gives me just the reminder I need on so many days! I have given this book as a gift to others in recovery and they also love it. I highly recommend this book.

A great book for someone in a recovery program. Wonderful reading that could help anyone to deal with life. I have subscribed to the online email posts for years now I have a reading for every day. Gerat!

I love that the daily reading are comments from people in Recovery right now. The wisdom is the same but the language is in the NOW. I have been sober many 24 hours and my language has changed with the times and so I hear things differently than I did when I got here in 1974.It reflects what I hear in the rooms today and how I think today.A GREAT DAILY READ FOR ME.Buck M.

Having received the Wisdom of the Rooms weekly email for many years and found the weekly messages right on the mark, I invested in 2 copies of the new book, when first announced! I am so thrilled with the book that I feel the need to reorder 3 more copies today, that I plan on giving to close friends in recovery! Kudos to the author on delivering a most splendid rendition of the Wisdom of the Rooms affirmations.

Each day brings another voice sharing a favourite quote and what it has meant in their recovery. While most of the readings relate to alcohol they a relatable whatever your addiction. Recommended to all those in a 12 step program of any kind

This book is uncomplicated and undogmatic good sense. It contains all the simple messages that we hear time and time again over the years, but can forget. If you hate the recovery preachers, this is the book for you — no preaching, just the fruits of personal experience. The author, like the reviewer here, made his mistakes in recovery, and what he did about those mistakes is what I personally needed to read.

Good wisdom for the day

I bought this book but it's not on my kindle.
