The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous: Interpreted by the Hazelden Foundation

by Halzelden Foundation

Book Overview

This book brings together a series of short discussions from various authors who interpret the Twelve Steps.

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous form the cornerstone of one of the most effective programs for recovery from alcoholism. The steps have also been successfully adapted for use in the treatment of many other dependencies. This book brings together for the first time a series of short discussions that interpret each of the Twelve Steps--from the admission of individual powerlessness over alcohol that occurs in Step One, to the moral inventory of Step Four and the spiritual awakening of Step Twelve. Each discussion has a separate author, demonstrating the diversity of voices that is at the heart of AA, and each author provides insights that keep the steps fresh and meaningful, whether they've been read once or a hundred times.

If you're not a "joiner"

I'm a do-it-yourselfer and find most of my how-to in books. This book has Q & A sessions to help yourself. It has an extensive "self-interview" after the First Step that is invaluable. It's easy to read and I loved it.

book is ok

This book is ok but there is already a 12 step book for AA. If I were going to recommend one other book besides the original BiG Book of AA it would be An Encounter With A Prophet, the book that helped me understand my higher power better.
