Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-28 00:00:00 Omar Harbi I enjoyed reading the book. It's a welcome alternative to the archaic, biblical lingo of AA. Being very short it is by its very nature an introduction, a guide. The real work is the work you do yourself. Of course. In that sense this is one of those books you never really finish but keep returning to and using as a natural part of your 12 step work, whatever you're recovering from. That is another great thing about the book: the focus is not solely on alcohol or substance abuse, it's much wider. Some parts of the book got a little new age and fluffy for my taste, but at its core this is a book that should be in your library.

Admit we are powerless over other people, random events, and our own persistent negative behaviors, and that when we forget this, our lives become unmanageable. 2. Come to believe that spiritual resources can provide power for our restoration and healing. 3. Make a decision to be open to spiritual energy as we take deliberate action for change in our lives. 4. Search honestly and deeply within ourselves to know the exact nature of our actions, thoughts, and emotions. 5. Talk to another person about our exact nature. 6. Be entirely ready to acknowledge our abiding strength and release our personal shortcomings. 7. Work honestly, humbly, and courageously to develop our assets and to release our personal shortcomings. 8. List all people we have harmed, including ourselves, and be willing to make amends to them all. Be willing to forgive those who have harmed us. 9. Whenever possible, carry out unconditional amends to those we have hurt, including ourselves, except when to do so would cause harm. 10. Continue to monitor ourselves, to acknowledge our successes and quickly correct our lapses and errors. 11. Increasingly engage spiritual energy and awareness to continue to grow in abiding strength and wisdom and in the enjoyment of life. 12. Practice the principles of these Steps in all our affairs and carry the 12 Step message to others.
