About this title

Synopsis

In this collection of stories from Grapevine, the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous, AA members share the many ways they use the tools of AA to improve and repair relationships

While drinking, many alcoholics have what Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W. called “a total inability to form a true partnership with another human being.” This collection of stories submitted to Grapevine magazine demonstrates the variety of ways in which sober AA members use the Twelve Steps, sponsorship and the tools of the program to repair relationships, old and new.

In Forming True Partnerships, you’ll find candid and colorful stories on making amends, communicating with family, enjoying meaningful friendships, marriage, divorce, dating, romance, developing connections with coworkers, and even finding joy with pets.

Be inspired by authentic and personal contributions from sober alcoholics who’ve discovered how to form true partnerships, in part by applying the principle of Step Eight as found in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions: “Having thus cleaned away the debris of the past, we consider how, with our newfound knowledge of ourselves, we may develop the best possible relations with every human being we know.”
