Skeptic's Guide to the 12 Steps

Phillip Z. is convinced that the Twelve Steps work--he's witnessed the results in his own life--but what exactly does a "Higher Power" have to do with maintaining abstinence?While the author works an O.A. program, A Skeptic's Guide to the Twelve Steps is for any recovering person who questions the traditional Judeo-Christian concept of God, or anyone seeking to enrich his or her own spirituality. In sharing his story of coming to believe in a Power greater than himself, the author, a psychologist, thoroughly investigates each of the Twelve Steps, combining solid Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions guidance with enlightenment from non-traditional sources, such as Jungian and transpersonal psychology, and Buddhism. Gradually, through an uncompromising intellectual and emotional self examination, and along with the support of a wise and seasoned sponsor, he comes to realize the source of spirituality within himself.Z., Phillip is the author of 'Skeptic's Guide to the 12 Steps' with ISBN 9780894867224 and ISBN 0894867229.
