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.

achievement that will be an invaluable aid ..." -- Bill White,
