We’re all recovering from something.

Maybe it’s substances. Maybe it’s gambling or porn or burnout or phone addiction. Maybe it’s about how addiction has shown up across generations. Or maybe you just sense, in some quiet persistent way, that there’s a better way to live.

Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you came.

Brought to you by The Small Bow — a growing community of drunks, depressives, addicts, and other chronic sufferers all trying to find some measure of emotional sobriety — The Small Book is a companion for living.

It gathers essays, interviews, and short reflections drawn from The Small Bow community — spare, funny, sometimes harrowing, with the dark humor that only comes from walking through fire. Some are about substances, some about relationships, some about loss, some about the quiet work of learning to live with yourself.

With stories from the rooms, from the edge of the rooms, and from people who've never gone near the rooms — The Small Book illuminates what it means to want things, lose them, and start again. What it means to be a human…figuring it out.
