How Was Your Week?
Bringing People Together in Recovery the LifeRing Way -- A
Handbook. By Martin Nicolaus.
"How Was Your Week?" is the question
that opens most LifeRing meetings. This book describes the surface
process of the LifeRing meeting format and the deeper healing,
empowering forces at work within it. The book is mainly a handbook for
the people who lead and support LifeRing meetings ("convenors") but
will also be of value to other readers who want a thoughtful, reasoned
exposition of the LifeRing approach.
The book is based on the author's
participation in more than a thousand LifeRing meetings,
launching new LifeRing meetings in a variety of settings, and giving
presentations about LifeRing to hundreds of recovery audiences.
How Was Your Week? 250 pp. 5.25" x
8.5", comb binding. US$15 + s/h. ISBN 0-9659429-4-5. 2003.

Kudos for How Was Your Week:
"A masterful job. ... Many recovery
mutual aid groups have floundered or collapsed because they failed to
clearly define their mission and methods. How Was Your Week?
defines the mission and methods of LifeRing Secular Recovery with
remarkable clarity and enthusiasm. This book is a significant
achievement that will be an invaluable aid ..." -- Bill White,
Author, Slaying the Dragon: The History of Addiction Treatment and
Recovery in America.
"Through his books and articles,
LifeRing author Martin Nicolaus provides the recovery community with
what it most needs -- a vast variety of individual paths toward sobriety
and improved living. For those who have failed to find a comfortable
place in the twelve-step community, Nicolaus' books lead the way to
another chance. -- Lonny Shavelson. Author of Hooked:
