Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Paperback – February 10, 2002

I originally bought the big book, and it was too overwhelming for me. This book breaks down the steps in a very succinct and clear way that I can digest and relate to my regular life. I'm not a long book reader and this book is very helpful for me. It is better than Cliff Notes, because it is more robust and gives all the information without going on for pages and pages. I'm so grateful for this book because it has helped me so much to really understand the core of psychology, logic, and it has supported me into growth and evolution not only in my sobriety, but also also in my life.I highly recommend this book

This book is in addition to the Big Book of AA. The detail of the steps and traditions is in this book. I have had two paper copies over the last 18 years. I now have this literature available to me all day, everyday on my Kindle. I typically reference it about 5 to 7 times a week. I love having it on my Kindle. I carry it with me all the time. Waiting in a doctor's office or other appointment I can check out something I want to reread. I have read it so many times. I will continue to do so. It gives precise information about the 12 steps of AA and the 12 traditions of AA. The steps are the keys to the success of the program, in my opinion. You learn to be accountable for what you say and do and to stop blaming your problems on other people. You learn to develop character and have a humility that is so attractive to anyone. These are the steps that not only give you a great sober life in good times but also in bad. I absolutely have loved my sobriety and in the last 18 years of sobriety I have owned an alpaca ranch, acquired my MBA, and helped many people with their sobriety, which helps to keep me sober. I am blessed. I have only felt like a drink one time in 18 years. That is a miracle. I am back into my photography. Not just for recreation, but I want to sell prints and finally show people that I always see a picture when I go anywhere. I thought everyone was like that. I have been writing, but really haven't done as much as I want to publish what I would like to. It's on my list. I just started my online venture called CHS Online Ventures LLC. I have a full life and I do not worry anymore. How incredible is that? I have a wonderful life because of AA and their literature. This book gave me the tools to have a life I never dreamed of.

Perfect book to have with a sponsor
