My 12-Step Journey

The 12-step philosophy is proven to be one of the most successful approaches to managing the disease of addiction. Whether your addiction is substance based (drugs, alcohol, food, tobacco products) or behavior based (gambling, gaming, spending, sex, codependency), the 12-step recovery strategy focuses on: (1) the need for changing destructive behaviors & patterns;(2) the need for support from peers and fellowship with other addicts; (3) the need for spiritual fulfillment; (4) the need for positive life improving experiences.The chapters prompt you to work on each of the 12 steps. These principles help you face your addiction honestly and to rebuild your life on a more solid, stable foundation.The final two chapters give you the opportunity to write a gratitude list and journal entries for documenting your journey to recovery and a life of fulfillment.
