Announcing Sober Covenants: A Lawyer’s Guide to the Promises of Sobriety
Special Announcement from Andy C
Today I am thrilled to share that I’ve just released the second edition of my book, Sober Covenants.
The first edition was published under the title Closing Arguments for 12-Stepping Lawyers, and it was well received. But this new edition is more than just a polish — it’s a solid rewrite with expanded insights and a sharper focus.
What is Sober Covenants About?
At its core, Sober Covenants is a lawyer’s examination of the 9th Step Promises, framing them as a kind of legal contract. Don’t worry — you don’t need a law degree to understand it. My aim is to make these concepts accessible to anyone in recovery.
Inside the book, you’ll find:
- A clause-by-clause legal-style analysis of the 9th Step Promises
- A deep dive into the Lord’s Prayer, exploring obligations, duties, and expectations
- A full exploration of the Big Book prayers, broken down for clarity and practical application
This isn’t dry legal jargon — it’s a thoughtful, practical guide to understanding recovery promises in a way that makes sense both to lawyers and to everyday readers.
Why a Second Edition?
The original version struck a chord with many readers, but I knew I could take it further. The second edition refines the arguments, strengthens the explanations, and connects even more directly with both legal minds and people walking the path of recovery.
Where to Get It
You can order Sober Covenants directly through the4thdimension.ca or on Amazon. If you pick up a copy and enjoy it, I’d love for you to share it with a friend.
