The 12 Step program is designed to achieve a crucial “personality change" sufficient to bring about recovery from alcoholism and addiction. These are stories by people who've been there and share the experience, strength and hope they gleaned from the 12-Steps. There are thirty-six stories – ways “to live life-long recovery, healing and joy” – in this book, three for each Step.
“The book you’re holding features the experience, strength and hope of men and women who are living the reality of recovery each and every day. To them, we give our deepest thanks for their honesty and willingness to share their stories, their challenges and their victories as they walk the road of recovery with courage.” – From the Introduction by Dale H.
“The Twelve Steps have provided guidance for our journeys and as you will read in this book, they have taken so many people from loss and despair to not only recovery, but a way to live life-long recovery, healing and joy.” – From the Foreword by Dr. Robert J. Ackerman.
