In this collection of stories from Grapevine, the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous, AA members write about how they learned to laugh again.

The first thing many AA members discover upon getting sober is often the last thing they expected: laughter. You may not realize that sobriety can be pretty darn amusing.

This collection of stories from AA Grapevine is full of light and humorous tales told by AA members--about meetings, early mistakes, funny things sponsors say, navigating drinking events, holiday adventures and much more!

Beyond lifting one's mood and offering a sense of connection to the wider community of men and women in recovery, these contributions remind us to not take ourselves too seriously and to always strive to be "happy, joyous and free."
