This book is an introduction into the workings of Al-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous. As people come together to find help and support in dealing with the effects of alcoholism, they often find help and solace in the experiences shared by other member. They come together for many different reasons, and return looking for one reason: hope of a better life.

Grief and loss affect almost every aspect of living—or having lived—with alcoholism. Members share how they have learned to acknowledge and accept these losses with the help of Al-Anon Family Groups.
Over the years, the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon Family Groups (AFG), has produced an impressive body of conference approved literature, written by and for AFG members to offer experience, strength, and hope to those struggling with the effects of a loved one's alcoholism. Most of these books get very down and dirty into the most harrowing aspects of the disease of alcoholism and recovery from it. The book "Having Had a Spiritual Awakening..." is unlike any of the other Al-Anon books in that it offers inspirational readings that focus on the spiritual nature of recovery. It's also the only Al-Anon book I'm aware of that has pictures. Together, the words and images offer the reader a moment of comfort and serenity, a reminder of the good stuff recovery has to offer. While most of Al-Anon's literature is intended for members to STUDY as they WORK their program, this book is one with which a member can relax and enjoy a moment of contemplative serenity along with a cup of tea. Sadly, this book is out of print and is no longer offered through AFG, so members who wish to acquire a copy must do so through the second hand market./BEST VALUE/FAST SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD/OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE/
