Weekly Meditations for A Daily Reprieve

What can be said about recovery that hasn't already been said a thousand times in every Twelve Step program? Well, Bob W. thinks there is plenty left to be said. In his first book "e;My Mind's Fingers,"e; the author trudged along the well-worn path to recovery in the form of poems; prose; essays; and personal stories of desperation, isolation, fear, and emotional pain. In his latest book, "e;Weekly Meditations for a Daily Reprieve,"e; Bob W. repeats the same format using his poetic insights, witty wordplay, and often employing his harsh spot-on view of the realities of life as a recovering person seeking a spiritual reckoning for the past. Along with the meditations contained on the pages of this book - which are based on his personal observations about love, life, relationships, sobriety, and spirituality - Bob W. has created a fresh batch of well-crafted offerings in the form of poems, prose, and essays, bringing forth quotes from the past to enlighten us all. After many years of trial-and-error living in a world fraught with daily battles against the mind, body, and spirit, the author began to seek a degree of humility, and offered himself up to the spiritual principles of the program that literally saved his life. Every morning brings a new day, and every day will bring new challenges. Each week, month, and year we will all be faced with decisions to be made, and the author hopes that his simple, yet insightful Daily Reprieves will help guide you through the onslaught of internal and external forces by quieting the stormy emotions that plague us all. Bob W. incorporates his spiritual messages gleaned from various religious disciplines and combines them with an unwavering adherence to the principles of recovery. Presented here in easy-to-read companion pieces along with his weekly and daily meditations, he hopes that others will incorporate them into their walk along the path to serenity... just as he continues to do. Enjoy this combination of poetry and prose in the true essence of recovery and spirituality. May you find peace of mind as you discover one of the undisputed truths about the basis for our fears...
