Emotional Sobriety I

by Alcoholics Anonymous

In this collection of Grapevine stories, sober women and men describe the transformations sobriety can bring as they practice the principles of AA in all aspects of their lives. Many discover that happiness is a by-product of giving without any demand for return. Others embrace the present with gratitude to claim moments of real peace -- "a quiet place in bright sunshine," as Bill W. put it in the essay that gave the impetus to this book. We invite you to join the journey.

This book is basically a paper version of an AA meeting, which is great if you need to hear a few stories, however left much to be desired on any pertinent info on Emotional Sobriety.
There were a few little takeaways:
The "Addict self" is an extreme example of self will run riot. 
Sobriety: A daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. AA pg 85.
Take my advice, I'm not using it.

great book

I read this book almost daily. I also like to go to Emotional Sobriety meetings. Great subjects for the new commuters and for the old timers as well.

Excellent -- all stories from AA Grapevine. My sponsor & I read it together over FaceTime, little by little, over the past year.
