Do you sense that what ails you (or your loved one) is of a deep or spiritual nature? Are you struggling to find out what to do about it?

The 12 Step philosophy identifies spirituality as the core element of alcoholism and addiction. The principles of the 12 Step program, put into practice, have produced a freedom from suffering for millions, catapulting them into the serenity of a sober life. Through practice of the 12 Steps, they receive a new pair of glasses through which to see their lives, and a set of spiritual tools for achieving mastery over their problems.

This unique, important, and easy-to-read volume is full of information, tools, stories, and inspiration. It dispels misconceptions and helps the reader - whether an addict or someone with addictive behavior, family member, clergyman, mental health professional, or other concerned member of the community - understand how to use the 12 Steps.

With a chapter by Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, this fascinating book helps addicts and those with addictive behaviors (and their loved ones) understand what is going on inside and how to get the help that is needed. This wonderful book is a new beginning.

Approbations:

"Spirituality, is implementing one's spirit and being the finest human being one can be. It is that simple.. The 12 Step program requires the surrender of one's will and accepting the will of G-d. It requires searching out one's character defects and correcting them. It requires making amends to those one may have offended. It requires helping others. It requires rigorous honesty. It thus provides a method whereby a person can become truly spiritual."

Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski
