Easy Does It: A Book of Daily 12 Step Meditations offers a full year of encouragement, reflection, and practical wisdom for people in recovery. Published by Hazelden, this daily meditation book reminds readers that lasting recovery develops through patience, personal growth, and taking life one day at a time.
Daily Recovery Meditations for Patience and Serenity
The familiar 12 Step saying "Easy Does It" encourages us to slow down, avoid unnecessary pressure, and allow recovery to develop at a manageable pace. This book explores that principle through daily readings that encourage acceptance, self-compassion, and a more peaceful approach to everyday challenges.
Each meditation provides an opportunity to reflect on recovery, recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, and approach the day with a healthier perspective. The readings offer encouragement when dealing with frustration, cravings, fear, impatience, or self-doubt.
Encouragement for Every Stage of Recovery
Recovery is not about having everything figured out immediately. Whether you're attending your first meetings or have years of experience in a 12 Step program, Easy Does It offers reminders to stay present, practice patience, and recognize progress along the way.
The book draws on inspirational quotations, recovery wisdom, and familiar 12 Step principles. Its brief daily format makes it suitable for morning meditation, evening reflection, journaling, or discussing recovery topics with a sponsor.
