The book’s a bit too focused on the wonders of AA, and overly pushes AA’s mantras. This means that the book contains some of AA’s religio-puritanical tint - that alcoholics are forever alcoholics and unless they always go to AA meetings will relapse and go to hell (die / go crazy) unless they let go and let god. (I have nothing against AA - think it’s helped a lot of people, and is v. useful for many—just noting that AA isn’t for everyone and it’d be great if this book recognized that too)

Still, The Recovery Book answers a lot of Qs—from physical symptoms to expect to methods of getting back to living a healthy life. Useful book.
