Product Description
Product Description
Here is a daily meditation book that addresses the need for humor in Twelve Step living. Each entry takes a humorous, ironic, or rueful look at such aspects of recovery as denial grandiosity, gratitude, and change. By turns irreverent and provocative, this little book can cause a lot of laughter and perhaps even aid in recovery.
Ingram
The bestselling author of Women's Reality, Women's Lives and When Society Becomes an Addict offers a daily meditation guide which proves "laughter is the best medicine." Anne Wilson Schaef uses the healing properties of humor in a unique book containing 365 daily doses of support to inspire, teach, and heal.

Best Devotion Book on Market for Telling the Truth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (If I Didn't): Daily Meditations on Healing through Humor (Paperback)
I've had this book since it came out. I like it so much and it makes me look at the truth of recovery and our addictions in such a light that I've become my best joke. I like it so much that I've given it away a couple times a year and need to order another one or two. I keep it in the bathroom and even my non-recovering friends comment on it.

A light but useful backup for your main daily meditation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (If I Didn't): Daily Meditations on Healing through Humor (Paperback)
This light and breezy little daily meditation guide would be more aptly called a daily passing thought guide, but often has humorous or insightful little blurbs unlike the stuff seen anywhere else. It makes a nice counterpoint to weightier material, although the brief comments can have loads of mental mass if they catch you at the right moment in your recovery. As a regular user of five daily meditation guides (call me eager in recovery!) I wouldn't want this to be my only food for thought on any given day, but it's a great side-dish. I've bought it as a gift for others who might shirk from more ponderous volumes, and it's been well-received. There's a definite codependency flavor to most of the quotes and commentary. Worth checking out!

Just What The Doctor Ordered......for me,
By Sherry R. "Sherry R." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (If I Didn't): Daily Meditations on Healing through Humor (Paperback)
I have several daily meditations I read and will now include this in my morning readings. I need laughter and have a pretty good sense of humor. I don't take life too seriously, it is what it is and I except that if it isn't something I have no control over and can't change. Some of the things I can't control I find a lot of humor in. This book is awesome. I can relate so many of these thought provoking quirps and it's healthy humor that lightens the load of everyday living (for me). I just purchased several more for sponsees and friends. In my opinion it is good reading whether your in recovery or not.

Much the same as all her books,
By D. Bradley "Life is Good!" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (If I Didn't): Daily Meditations on Healing through Humor (Paperback)
I have a couple of her other meditation books and I thought this one would add new life to an never ending 12 step book. Laughter is good for wellness mentally and physically and this meditation book so far contains nothing to laugh about. It was disappointing.
