A Twelve Step Recovery Guide and Workbook: Based on a Personal Story of Redemption and Healing

This workbook is designed specifically to help you find your way through the 12 steps of recovery in a timely, purposeful and productive manner. This guide is based on a personal story of recovery from a hopeless and helpless condition of mind, body and spirit made possible, solely, wholly and totally by the conscientious personal application of the 12 steps of recovery as detailed in the first 164 pages of the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous that today extends over a period of almost four decades of sobriety.The 12 steps is not only a proven recovery plan for alcoholics but has proven to be equally effective in addressing the needs of those suffering the affects of any other addiction, as well as those suffering from many forms of depression. Still further, these steps can be a useful tool for those looking for help in addressing persistent negative feelings such as low self worth, inadequacy and even incompleteness. In fact, anyone seeking escape from the excruciating pain resulting from a hopeless and helpless state of mind, body and spirit regardless of the causes or circumstances can find help here.The purpose of this guide is to help you identify clearly and unequivocally what your personal problem(s) really is (you may be surprised with you come to find out); and then to ask yourself at least some of the essential questions necessary to lead you towards recovery and healing in a timely fashion as you work your through this process that otherwise can appear to be over whelming and impossible.There are as many accounts of recovery as there are recovering alcoholics. In our case, we claim to have neither discovered anything new ourselves nor have we figured out anything about recovery on our own. We tell you only what we have seen and heard and learned from others through the course of our ongoing journey. We see ourselves only as the messenger. The practice of recovery demands that we make every effort to share our experience, strength and hope to all who may be interested.The gift of recovery can only be maintained if we continue to give it away. Please come and join us the broad highway to a happy, healthy and productive life. You are worth it.
