The Little Red Book for Women - Annotated Hardcover Edition
The Little Red Book for Women combines the
familiar recovery guidance of the original
Little Red Book with thoughtful annotations by
best-selling recovery author Karen Casey.
Published by Hazelden, this hardcover edition offers
additional perspectives on the Twelve Steps and the
experiences of women in Alcoholics Anonymous.
The original Little Red Book has long served as a companion
to the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. In this edition,
Casey's notes and observations help women explore its
recovery principles in relation to their own lives,
relationships, and personal growth.
What Makes The Little Red Book for Women Different?
Rather than replacing the original text, this edition
preserves its recovery guidance and adds commentary
written specifically with women in mind.
Karen Casey's annotations offer perspective on subjects
that can be especially meaningful in recovery, including:
- Self-esteem: Developing confidence and a healthier sense of self.
- Perfectionism: Letting go of unrealistic expectations and self-criticism.
- Guilt: Understanding difficult feelings while moving forward in recovery.
- Sponsorship: Finding encouragement and connection through other women in AA.
- Relationships: Balancing personal needs with care and concern for others.
- Daily recovery: Applying Twelve Step principles to everyday experiences.
An Annotated Recovery Book, Not a Workbook
This edition is intended for reading, reflection,
and discussion. It contains the original
Little Red Book text with Karen Casey's added
annotations. It is not the separate workbook-style
Little Red Book Study Guide.
