Synopsis

What are the underlying principles of 12 step recovery? Drawing from key texts and practices, this book clarifies some of the basic principles, shows how they relate to one another, and how they provide a rich framework for living that can benefit anyone -- even those who are not suffering from addiction or do not believe in God. This book is an inspiring testimony from the author's own journey through recovery, as well as a philosophical interpretation of the principles underlying recovery. It is simple enough to be read by those with no previous background in recovery or philosophy. It can be enjoyed in about an hour, but invites you to a lifetime of learning and reflection.
