A very reasonable and persuasive explanation of the major differences between LifeRing and Alcoholics Anonymous backedby extensive research and clinical evidence. How the program encourages a variety of unique personal paths to recovery, including no meetings at all, as the author quotes research showing how many people get better just on their own.How the meetings work, including participating in the ‘How Was Your Week’ format, with cross talk around the table (no podium), feedback, support, bonding,and connection among participants. Illustrative stories and inspirational anecdotes from LifeRing members, with which readers will readily identify.
