Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what? Twelve-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place.

Story
When you really care about someone, it’s easy to get stuck in painful, even destructive patterns - caving in to a spouse’s manipulation, ignoring a live-at-home son’s irresponsibility, not confronting a friend’s addiction. We excuse people again and again, and then kick ourselves for not setting better boundaries. But this important audiobook, with its transformational tools from leading Christian counselor Tim Clinton and noted author Pat Springle, will guide you in not only breaking through to better relationships but making big changes for the better.

After my son died from addiction
I had heard about this book mostly related to others in Al anon who read it after divorce or death of a spouse. I thought I’d never need it until my son passed from an accidental overdose. Faced with grief and 8 years of the program under my belt, I set out on a journey to take time and grieve in my own way and at my own pace. The first thing that struck me while reading was that my grief started many years ago when it became apparent that my dreams for his normal life and my expectations of how our family would grow and socialize together were never going to be what I dreamed. Over time my dreams changed to hoping he could maintain sobriety, a job and a relationship with his fiancée which was true and they were married. It lasted 3 months when he relapsed entered detox and rehab again and those dreams were put back on hold but still within reach. He deteriorated quickly then recovered for a few weeks or a month then repeated the cycle. My dreams changed again that he would just be sober, then again that he would be alive tomorrow and that dream ended just 10 months after their wedding day. I miss him dearly, still with the help
Of Alanon and my Alanon family I am surviving one day at a time. I hope the same for you, whatever it is you’re have lost.

I choose me!
I really appreciate the content of this book. It has helped me to understand my father’s alcoholism but also the presence of the disease in others. It has been a great benefit as I have unknowingly walked through many of the steps over the years and am no longer captive to the shortcomings of others including myself. I choose me, without excuse.

Worth every cent
As a person affected by others’ drinking behaviors, and had a terrible childhood partly because of it, this is a must read to begin my grieving process. I am grieving “what never was” as it states so eloquently. I reference this book often and I thinks it’s a nice companion to use prior to step 4. The only reason I gave performance a 3 star is because some of the readers were very breathy or slow. Thanks for your service.
