Religion was once the primary way to understand human behavior. This was certainly true when the book Alcoholics Anonymous was written in 1939. But, we have learned much over the past 80 years. Common Sense Recovery began as the journal of a long-standing member of AA, during a time in his life when he was struggling to reconcile the religious language of Alcoholics Anonymous with his new-found atheism and scientific understanding of addiction and the recovery process.

Works of Paul Chek inspired me to write this book. I hope to show listeners that there is a purpose to life, and that it is the lessons we are learning in our everyday lives that give our life this purpose. I also feel there is something happening to the planet at this time, and we are privileged to be here. We are being guided and helped in many ways, which have not previously been open to us. As more and more people take an interest in matters which are "not of this world", the purposes of our true existence will come more into focus.

For many in recovery, traditional views of a Higher Power do not resonate. This dissonance left author Buddy C. feeling hopeless. As a result, Buddy entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for over six years.
