This purchase was my third and fourth copy, because I keep giving them away to friends recovering from one crisis or another. No matter what your background, if you are anxious and uncertain you can find a moment of peace to help you get centered for the day.

I am not the adult child of an alcoholic. I am, however, the product of a dysfunctional family, and recommend daily use of this book for all who struggle with the self-image issues born of family (or non-family!) histories that are fraught with obsessive or abusive behavior.

This is a wonderful work; a work to USE, not just to read. Each time through, these affirmations grow in meaning. Take the time to feel these truths each time you work with one: Imagine yourself owning — actually believing and feeling — that which graces these pages. Regardless of the origin of your pain, these affirmations are a true and helping gift.

This book of Daily Affirmations is a perfect companion book to any daily meditation books, yet also stands alone and is as powerful as can be. Each day holds a new key for overcoming the negative things I grew up with so that my todays might be postive, uplifting, and hopeful. A true gem of a book.

This book just didn’t speak me. Compared to her “Affirmations for the Inner Child”, which is fantastic, I found the affirmations in this book lackluster and uninspiring. If you’re an ACOA, buy the afore-mentioned book for some real food for thought, not this one.

SINCE I GREW UP IN A HOME WHERE BOTH PARENTS WERE ALCOHOLICS, I KNOW ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF DESPARATION, LONELINESS, AND DENIAL. I KNOW ABOUT PHYSICAL, VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE. NOW THAT I AM AN ADULT, I HAVE ISSUES WITH TRUST, COMMITMENT AND EXPERIENCING JOY. THIS BOOK AND OTHER AL-ANON LITERATURE HAS BEEN A LIFE SAVER FOR ME. THE INSPIRATIONAL PASSAGES HELPS ME THINK ABOUT MY LIFE IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE ALCOHOLISM IN THE FAMILY. IT HELPS ME SEE HOPE AND LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL ADULT CHILDREN, SPOUSES, AND/OR FRIENDS OF AN ALCOHOLIC. IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.
