## Description

Renowned addiction expert Patrick Carnes, PhD, author of A Gentle Path through the Twelve Steps, outlines twelve guiding principles to help those in recovery develop an essential skill set for life. Renowned addiction expert Patrick Carnes, PhD, author of A Gentle Path through the Twelve Steps , outlines twelve guiding principles to help those in recovery develop an essential skill set for life. Twelve Steps. Twelve Traditions. And yes, Twelve Principles. The Steps outline the actions that lead to extraordinary healing. The Traditions exist as guides to the functioning of the Fellowship. Embedded in both is a series of Principles by which to measure your progress. Anyone who lives a Twelve Step way of life will recognize the principles passed on in A Gentle Path through the Twelve Principles . They have existed among fellowships as a hidden curriculum of fundamental truths about recovery for decades, but never before have they been distilled into a succinct set of values that, when practiced, help each of us to develop an essential skill set for life. The principles--such universal touchstones for human self-realization as acceptance, awareness, responsibility, openness, honesty, courage, commitment, and meaning--are concepts that enable a deep inner study and focus to make a new life happen in recovery. Recovery means reengineering your life with a focus on renewal. The Twelve Principles are designed to help you get there.

Review: CUTTING EDGE RECOVERY BOOK - Minnesota's Hazelden Treatment Center has many fine books--"The Twelve Principles" by Patrick Carney--is one of the best. Speedy delivery; affordable price. This book is currently used in my A.A. meeting. The last word on alcoholism has not yet been written. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta classifies alcohol as a carcinogen. Happy to have this book. Many Thanks.
Review: Good tool for working the twelve steps - I have found this to be a "gentle" way to work through the twelve steps. I've been using it by myself, but can imagine that it would be very beneficial for using in a group or with a recovery partner.
