The Golden Book of Action

Author: Father John Doe

Excerpt:
“This is especially true of the alcoholic.  How many times have we not solved ALL of our problems MENTALLY, but actually they seemed to keep multiplying.  This is why we were dreamers, perfectionists, and procrastinators.  We thought a lot, we did little.

And when alcohol lent its charm to our imaginations, we not only solved our own, but all the world’s problems – MENTALLY.   And when liquor itself came to be a problem, we solved it – every time – in our minds.  “Never again, we vowed,” but we DID little or nothing about it.”

Hazelden is extremely proud to once again offer this early classic recovery series. The Golden Books series is composed of fourteen booklets written by the late Father Ralph Pfau, known originally as Father “John Doe” who was an immensely popular lecturer and author.  These treasured booklets offer thoughtful, positive advice on almost every human experience.  Helpful in examining character defects or in exploring the realm of spirituality, these booklets are firmly grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.
