In this transformative approach to personal and spiritual development, the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are reinterpreted to speak to all those seeking a more liberated and God-centered life. This unique interpretation makes the Twelve Steps relevant not only to those struggling with specific addictions – such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, sex, and shopping – but also to the universal addictions we wrestle with daily, including anger, greed, and selfishness.
The author, Rami Shapiro, shares his personal experience in working the Twelve Steps as adapted by Overeaters Anonymous, and also recounts anecdotes from many individuals who have found the Steps applicable in a wide range of settings. Drawing upon the wisdom and practices of diverse religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Islam, Shapiro offers supplementary practices to help the reader delve deeper into the universal spirituality inherent in the Twelve Step system.
"Twelve Step recovery is much more than a way to escape the clutches of addictive behaviors. Twelve Step recovery is about freeing yourself from playing God, and since almost everyone is addicted to this game, Twelve Step recovery is something from which everyone can benefit," as stated in the introduction.
This hope-filled approach recognizes that the Twelve Steps are not merely a means of overcoming specific addictions, but a transformative pathway to a life of greater freedom, authenticity, and connection to the divine. By incorporating diverse spiritual perspectives, the author empowers readers to tailor the Twelve Steps to their own unique journeys, making this work applicable to a wide audience seeking personal growth and a more centered, God-focused existence.
Through personal anecdotes, insightful reflections, and practical guidance, Shapiro invites readers to deepen their capacity to live free from the bondage of addiction – whether it be to substances, behaviors, or the constant need to control and define their own lives and the lives of others. By embracing the universal principles of the Twelve Steps and integrating complementary spiritual practices, readers are encouraged to embark on a transformative journey toward greater self-awareness, compassion, and a more profound connection with the divine.
