Introduction
This book was borne from the number of times that I heard, both from my own thoughts and those of others within my fellowship, what a blessing it has been to have found the 12 Steps. And then wondering why those suffering with addiction are the priviged ones... While I would not want anyone to have to suffer with any addiction, is that the only prerequisite to gain access to the knowledge and wisdom that the 12-Steps have to offer? I think not, and that is why I wrote this book, my attempt to distill the experience, strength and hope of the thousands who have walked this path before me, along with those walking it today. I hope these steps, the insights and exercises can help you wherever you are in your own journey to gain a better understanding of where you have come from, and to guide you to a better, healthier life.
