Twenty Four Hours A Day: Meditations

For more than seventy years, this small daily devotional has supported people recovering from alcohol dependence. Its pages hold a short reflection, meditation, and prayer for every day of the year, meant to be read in a few quiet minutes and carried into the hours ahead. The opening pages quote an old saying about yesterday being a dream and tomorrow a vision, a thought that has guided many readers toward sober living.

The pocket-sized book also includes the Serenity Prayer, along with the program's twelve steps and the twelve principles that guide group life. Readers use these passages to connect recovery principles with ordinary routines, and the daily format offers a manageable way to focus on staying sober one day at a time.
