"I am early in sobriety and recovery and your writing has been helpful for me in staying hopeful and knowing there is so much wonderful life yet to live. Thank you for your writing"

My favorite newsletter is this meditation on recovery with Edith Zimmerman’s illustrations and A.J. Daulerio’s essays. It’s about addiction, but relevant to anyone who has problems and regrets (so, everyone).

I’m not in recovery, although as someone who has lived through, and lives with, whatever-you-got in terms of addictions, I find The Small Bow to be an extraordinarily great resource that also happens to be beautifully written. Kind of like reading ahead on the syllabus for a test I’m going to have to take later on in the semester.

"My husband has recently begun AA and reading your writing has helped me so much with deep understanding of this experience."

The Small Bow is not just for those in recovery. Lots of stories with huge heart that manages to be hilarious and easy while making you question everything you were certain of about yourself.
