After more than 37 years in the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I am still in awe of the miracles I see. People who are so messed up when they first come into this program and totally change into a rational, even thinking human beings. This happens not by just going to meetings, that won't do it. It is only by fully immersing yourself into the 12 Steps that an incredible metamorphosis happens.
This is not a religious movement at all. Religion has rules. Spirituality has only guidelines and suggestions. The person is free to find their own way looking only to live by spiritual principals instead of their previous personality. The true beauty of this process is you get better in spite of yourself. You simply follow the steps and changes within happen. Even those around you, like friends and family, will notice a difference. It seems that once we address the spiritual sickness within (because we spiritual beings) we straighten out mentally and physically. Over the last 35 years, I have had wonderous experiences, some of which I share in this guide.
Even if your issue is not alcohol, this process will help you. Food, gambling, porn addiction, anger, you name the issue and the steps will help you out of it. Just do a Google search and look for groups like gamblers anonymous and over-eaters anonymous. They all use the 12 step process because it works. It actually works. You just have to get honest and work through the 12 step process.
I wanted to put a 12 step guide into today's language to make the process easier to do so you would get a better understanding of what you're doing. Just take a look at the reviews and see if people agree if I was successful at that goal.
So if you're in trouble because of some recurring issue, this process can help you. Just replace the word "alcohol" with pretty much whatever problem you are having and get started.
You can download Step One at no charge to see how I present the material and if you want to pick up the rest of the steps, the options are there for digital downloads or even getting a paperback edition in either size that suits you.
I wish the best for you and I hope I can be of service if needed.

From the Author
Make no mistake, sponsorship is a scary proposition. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't understand what real sponsorship is. Even offering an honest guide for others to use will be criticized. I've listened to these people says this is a "dangerous" topic for discussion and then they sit on their butts by doing nothing to help. This has been going on for years! Well I'll take the heat gladly. I've seen too many die from this disease so I will tell you what turned me around and helped me become an more effective sponsor for those who asked for help.
I don't speak for Alcoholics Anonymous. No one does. What I will be doing here is sharing the effective method pointed out in the Big Book and the experiences learned from 12 Step calls over a 30 year period. This is a guide to prepare a person in recovery for the job of helping another by following the path laid out by our Big Book of Recovery and depending on a Higher Power.
