THE ALCOHOLIC'S 12-STEP PROGRAM MADE CLEAR: WITH ANSWER KEY, FORMATS & HANDOUTS (We Walk In Beauty, Power and Poise)

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe old white men mostly run AA? Well, guess what? They've got a strangle-hold on who gets 12-Step program books published, too. After he'd taken my first two books, a publisher told me, "You know, Kathleen, it isn't cost effective for people to get well. We want them to stay in treatment, come to our conferences and buy lots of books." I'm not a radical but I am a woman. I've tried to be a colleague to Bill W. in revising and up-dating the SCIENCE and MEDICINE connections the 12-Step program have, connections that have been sadly neglected since Bill W. died in 1971. I got sober in 1975, before Bill had become "our sainted dead leader," which would have been a laugh among the founding members (none of whom aspired to halos.) This workbook gives you 100% of the authentic 12-Step program, Step by Step in both the Big Book and the 12X12 in a question format that works great for sponsors to assign and then discuss. It also includes "program friendly" exercises on each Step to open up the kind of right-brain inventory most of us find we need once we've got a year or two, if sobriety is going to be much fun. If you work in the field, this is the workbook you've been looking for, possibly. It can be used to actually track whether "Court-ordered" attendees are really learning something about the AA program -- with an answer key, so staff don't have to be AA/NA or Al Anon members to facilitate the groups.
