"12 Steps for Recovery & Recovery Companion Workbook" is a spiritual and practical guide through the 12 Steps allowing alcoholics, addicts and dysfunctional individuals to engage in a hands-on recovery process. Demonstrating insight that comes from the perspective of long-term sobriety, the author has crafted a book and workbook synthesizing concepts of psychology, spirituality, and cognitive and behavioral aspects of the 12 Steps originated by Alcoholics Anonymous. Many who seek recovery can now experience a "user-friendly" format and explanation of a program that has been misunderstood. With humor and warmth, Ms. Lyons illustrates the internal concepts and practical applications of each Step and includes a special section on Relapse Prevention. People who suffer from addictions, their friends, family, employers and co-workers and others interested in the components of the 12 program can learn valuable strategies for recovery. The material and workbook exercises can also be used by addiction specialists and healthcare providers as an interactive tool for individual and group therapies, while educating their clients/patients about 12 Step ideology. The Steps are part of a holistic treatment program that must include therapy, trauma counseling, if indicated, education, self-examination, and strategies and tools to support the restructuring of thoughts and beliefs that contribute to continued addiction and dysfunction.

Linda Lyons has been a wife, mother, daughter, sister, actress, singer, songwriter, addiction counselor, legal assistant, business owner, college student and practicing alcoholic. Linda began her journey to recovery on September 3, 1988 and has been sober ever since. Soon, she discovered that her childhood abuse and neglect also earned her a seat in the meetings of ACoA, CODA, and Al-Anon. She credits her continuous sobriety to application of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, her Higher Power, the love of other addicts in the meeting rooms, who did love her until she could find some small measure of love for herself, and her successful marriage and partnership with her husband, Richard. Daily meetings for over 2 years were her self-imposed outpatient program, together with a newfound spirituality using affirmations and a growing faith in a Power greater than herself. In 2005, she earned a bachelor's degree in psychology, graduating magna cum laude from California State University in Los Angeles. In 2003, she received a certification in Addiction Studies from the highly acclaimed addiction studies program originated by James L Crossen, Ph.D. The author's motivation to write a book on the application of 12 Step ideology began when she saw many people confused and unsure about how the Steps were relevant in their daily lives and recovery.
