1987
Based upon the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, this book offers a specific format to guide the individual in moving from isolation and denial to accepting and dealing with feelings of anger, guilt, fear, and despair. By releasing the past and opening up to the present, the individual begins to feel confident and recognizes that he or she is a valuable and worthwhile person. The Twelve Steps for Adult Children uses a spiritual rather than an intellectual approach. Success in reading the book requires a willingness to believe there is a Power greater than ourselves. This can be whatever one chooses: God, a friend, the Program, or even Love itself.
