The 12 Steps: A Way Out: A Spiritual Process for Healing Damaged Emotions

This isn't a book for the timid. It's for those who want to go deep, to grow, to expand. It's a challenging journey into the last frontier -- our own selves, our wounds, our fears and shed light in the old darkness in order to come out the other side and discover how unique and lovable we really are. Great workbook. Get ready to feel uncomfortable, but it's worth the effort. It's not something you're going to hurry through. It's an on-going process

After having read many self help book, as a substance abuse counselor, I have recommended this book to many clients. I, first viewed this book in 1997, and I highly recommend this book for anyone in recovery or want to improve their lives.

The title has changed, (from 12 Steps a Way Out for Adult Children), and the format is much more generic, but still geared towards ACA/ACoA's (Adult Children of alcoholic and otherwise dysfunctional homes). Still this is the book I recommend for adult children. In fact, we do on line step studies for adult children and this is the book we use.This book has been used by many, in many ways including: 1) with a sponsor 2) in a group format 3) individuallyIt gives you that much flexabilty!Yours in recovery,Maria

My friend Karen gave me her copy and I knew that I had to have my own after reading the first chapter. Based on the 12 Steps and Al Anon, this book directly addresses concepts, concerns and ideas crucial to the recovering adult child. I think we have tried to 'think our problem through' more than most, so the journaling in the form of responding to the questions is very revealing and healing.I will write again when I finish in a few months. Love and Peace from recovery to you, Chip P. ;-)

This book breaks down the 12 steps in a way that helped me prepare myself for working them more readily. It works wonderful in a groups setting as well.
