Customer Reviews

Book price

I can purchase this book , new, at my local Intergroup office for $11 with no shipping. This book is for alcoholics who have stopped drinking. Your asking price is too high.

The Journey

This book, Stools and Bottles, is an excellent view on the first four steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. For me, it's still helpful to hear the same information just worded differently in a different perspective. The daily meditations in the back of the book really give you something to think about. In my opinion we could all, new in the program or not so new, a refresher. This book provides a daily reminder, daily inventory, suggested meditation, spiritual contact and something that really gets somewhat lost or just not thought of much until we find ourselves at the doctors office and thats a daily physical audit. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Early Recovery

Good Book. Stools and Bottles gives the newcomer to Alcoholics Anonymous an analogy of the first three steps to the 3 legs on a 3 legged stool. Without any of the three legs, the stool will not stand and without the foundation provided by the first three steps, recovery is shaky. This book is a good adjunct to the "Alcoholics Anonymous" and "12 Steps and 12 Traditions" books for recovery.
