About These Candles As with most of my candles, I created these 12 step candles to light my own way, in this case through my recovery work. As I work each step, I will light a candle to help me connect with Spirit and pray for honesty, openness and willingness. I hope and pray they might shine on your path of recovery as well! —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

1. Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book 4th Edition
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: For anyone struggling with alcoholism, this is the way to get sober.
The principles of the program
can--and have been--applied to just about any addiction. This program is the
foundation of Cocaine Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and every other 12 step
program. This is where it all started.
2. A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: For over 70 years, 12 step programs have proved to be a highly successful means for recovery from a wide range of issues. But all 12 step programs are based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization founded by men for men. Women have traditionally had difficulty fitting these steps into a recovery program that they can be comfortable with.
Stephanie Covington, Ph.D. addresses the difficulties women have with the traditional, male oriented, step language. Rather than alter the traditional 12 steps, she focuses on the healing message in the 12 steps using the original step language, making them accessible to women from a wide range of backgrounds. Each step is explored and the various issues and reservations women have with the 12 steps are addressed utilizing the experiences of women in recovery and how they came to terms with the difficulties that women often experience with the traditional 12 steps. Although the main thrust of the book is addiction, she carries over the ideas of the addictions based programs and looks at the experience of women in such areas as relationships, sexuality, spirituality and everyday life.
A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps is a comprehensive resource for women in recovery no matter what 12 step program they participate in. It is the rare woman that won't see herself somewhere in its pages and come away with something that can enhance her recovery.

From Amazon.com: Knapp, a magna cum laude graduate of Brown University, journalist, and contributing editor to New Woman magazine, was not a stereotypical drunk. Instead, as a "high-functioning alcoholic," she kept her addiction--and hangovers--hidden. She never called in sick from too much liquor or drank on the job yet would imbibe night after night, lusting after the sound, feel, and camaraderie of booze. During her 20-year affair with alcohol, she led a double life, often sneaking shots at dinner parties or slipping into a restaurant bar for an extra round while her dinner companion thought she'd left for the ladies' room. "Beneath my own witty, professional facade were oceans of fear, whole rivers of self-doubt," she writes. Then she hit bottom and did a stint in rehab. AA meetings several times a week keep her sober. Detailing the reasons why she needed to medicate her feelings and the choices she has made to stay clean, Knapp offers, in well-crafted prose, hope for other women alcoholics desperate to stop drinking.

From Amazon.com: On the follow-up to their Grammy-winning album Spirit of the Century, the three gospel-singing septuagenarians celebrate the holy side of secular songs in hopes of connecting with "the generations that are behind us," as founding member Clarence Fountain put it. Always alert to the potent message of God's mightiness, they exuberantly spiritualize the Stevie Wonder title track and Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," as well as choice picks from the songbooks of Prince ("The Cross"), George Clinton ("You and Your Folks," grafted onto the 23rd Psalm!), Ben Harper ("I Shall Not Walk Alone"), and others (Harper guests on three tracks). A few uplifting traditional gospel numbers turn up, too. Throughout the program, Blind Boy Jimmy Carter's stirring tenor voice is a minor miracle. And "sacred steel" guitarist Robert Randolph and his Family Band are important to the success of the album, supplying genuine fervor to grooves that complement the elders' heaven-bound vocals.
2. Share: Songs of Hope, Awareness & Recovery
Original Release Date: 2003
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This is a unique and compelling compilation album completely focused on sending a hopeful and encouraging message to those struggling with addiction. For years country music has been associated with alcohol. There are thousands of songs about a drinking away a broken heart, drowning your sorrows or throwing back a cold one, but never has the disease of addiction been so abundantly and so powerfully addressed as it is in Share. There are heartbreaking and thought-provoking songs performed by country stars such as Martina McBride with "Cheap Whiskey" and Travis Tritt with "No More Looking Over My Shoulder." The duet "I'm Trying" performed by Diamond Rio and Chely Wright is a powerful look into the struggle of addiction and the incredible will it takes to overcome it. I would highly recommend this album to anyone who has ever experienced addiction in any part of his or her life or just for anyone who has ever struggled. Share is truly inspirational and delivers a hopeful message.
Original Release Date: 2000

From Amazon.com: This is yet again another hard hitting rock 'n' roll recording from the Dutch master himself. Lyrics like "I don't deserve to die stinking like this" relating to his problems with illness due to drug and drink excesses are certainly graphic. Herman was never one for pulling punches. The music is mostly hard rock with a couple of slower numbers thrown in. Herman made this his last album and brought his long musical career to an abrupt end when he jumped to his death in July 2001.
1. 28 Days
(2000) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: To appreciate 28 Days, it's best to be thankful that director Betty Thomas hasn't forced Sandra Bullock into a remake of Clean and Sober. Instead Thomas has balanced her comedic sensibility with the seriousness of alcoholism and substance abuse, and she succeeds without compromising the gravity of the subject matter.
As played by Bullock, Gwen is an alcoholic in denial whose latest bender with boozer boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) ruins the wedding of her sister (Elizabeth Perkins) and lands her in a month-long rehab program with the requisite gang of struggling drunks and junkies. Newcomer Alan Tudyk steals his scenes as a gay German rehabber who might've dropped in from a Berlin performance-art exhibit, and Steve Buscemi aptly conveys the weary commitment of a counselor who's seen it all. Thomas has surrounded Bullock with a sharp ensemble, and the addition of singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III (as a kind of Greek chorus crooner) is sublimely inspired. Certainly no surprises here--the warring sisters will reconcile, and at least one rehabber will fail to recover--but there's ample pleasure to be found in Bullock's finely tuned performance, and in Thomas's inclusion of flashbacks and tangents that add depth and laughter in just the right dosage.
2. Drunks
(1997) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Who knew comedian Richard Lewis could act? There is no plot to speak of in this character study, which follows AA members who meet in a Times Square basement to bare their souls. The performances, however, are dazzling. A sparse plot follows Lewis through one dark, soul-searching night in which he questions his life, his choices, and his sobriety. The direction is minimal, but Faye Dunaway, Spalding Gray, Parker Posey, Amanda Plummer, Dianne Wiest, and Howard Rollins bring out the intense emotions and dark, bitter humor of Gary Lennon's play, Blackout. We could have used more time with all of them, however, as the only fully realized character is played by Lewis.
(1962) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Days of Wine and Roses is one film not to watch if you are melancholic by nature, as this tale of middle-class alcoholism rings very true. Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick are the besotted couple who find that life is not always fun when viewed through rosé-colored glasses. He's the San Francisco business executive who marries Remick and seduces her into a cocktail culture that soon overpowers them both. It is not a pretty picture when their life shatters around them, but this film is extremely compelling for their performances. It is matched only by Billy Wilder's Lost Weekend and the more explicit Leaving Las Vegas. This was nominated for five Academy Awards and won for the title song by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. Filmed by Blake Edwards in 1962, it is based on a Playhouse 90 television production from 1958, starring Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie.. | |||||||||
