Twelve Steps to recovery.

From Simple But Not Easy "For over seventy years the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous has offered alcoholics a solution to their chronic, progressive, and fatal illness. This solution cannot be found in fighting or quitting or any other human effort." "Many people abstain from alcohol for months, even years, by going to meetings, reciting the steps, and exchanging complaints about their lives with other abstinent people. For these people 'not drinking' is their only goal. But abstinence is only the beginning of recovery." "It is the Program of Action, particularly Steps 4 through 9, that brings about a spiritual awakening and recovery." "This small book offers newcomers, sponsors, and even long-time members of the AA Fellowship a new tool to identify and understand the basic principles of the Big Book. Once that understanding turns to action--taking the 12 Steps--a spiritual awakening and true recovery can be achieved by anyone."

The Promises written into the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous itself, describe precisely what you can expect by applying the principles learned for the 12 Step process. The AA Program as it's outlined in the Big Book, has been around since 1939 and has saved the lives of more than 3,000,000 people worldwide and made the lives of countless families repair the wreckage of their past and rebuild their lives together. Whether you're considering if 12 Step recovery is right for you or you've been sober for some time and want to re-juice your gratitude button a little, this book is the ultimate read for those who love living in the solution. You will be glad you took the time to read this book... be sure to pass it on and read it with a friend or two...

This book brings together a series of short discussions from various authors who interpret the Twelve Steps. The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous form the cornerstone of one of the most effective programs for recovery from alcoholism. The steps have also been successfully adapted for use in the treatment of many other dependencies. This book brings together for the first time a series of short discussions that interpret each of the Twelve Steps--from the admission of individual powerlessness over alcohol that occurs in Step One, to the moral inventory of Step Four and the spiritual awakening of Step Twelve.Each discussion has a separate author, demonstrating the diversity of voices that is at the heart of AA, and each author provides insights that keep the steps fresh and meaningful, whether they've been read once or a hundred times.
