Title: One breath at a time - a dilemna unanswered
Review: I found this book to be helpful - specifically the examples from the author's experiences with his attempts to "become spiritual" while avoiding dealing with his relationship to alcohol and drugs. They parallel my own journey. I find it to be a valuable addition to 12 step literature and am grateful that the author has the courage to own and correlate his buddhist practice with his membership in a 12 step fellowship. The only reason that I could not give it a full 5 stars is that despite his promise to deal with the Higher Power issue - specifically what does a buddhist look to as a HP within the 12 step context, I ended up feeling that he had side stepped it. That concept is something that this writer still struggles with and I wished that I had been able to learn more from this writer about that issue and his experience with it.
