WE BELIEVE AND TEACH THE 12 STEPS OF RECOVERY
Back in 1935, two men battling the same challenge met. Both had fallen from positions of strength and prosperity due to active alcoholism. Both had tried numerous methods of ridding themselves of the merciless obsession that seemed to demand that they continue to drink despite how this behavior attacked their families, their professions, and their mental, physical, and spiritual health.
In their histories, both had attempted to control the disease of alcoholism with attempts to conquer the physical craving and the mental obsession. Neither man had succeeded, despite numerous and earnest attempts. When Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith joined forces and decided to confront the problem by focusing on spiritual recovery first, their lives were restored. Gratefully for millions of fellow sufferers, they developed a program from their experiences. In this program, they suggested sufferers follow a group of spiritual principles, called steps.
You don't have to be an alcoholic to benefit from this amazing way of life.
Powerlessness is the issue. When we suffer with a situation over which we have no power or have lost our power, working the 12 steps can bring about the relief of acceptance or the courage and readiness to change. Eventually, practitioners find that these spiritual principles become a way of life that offers them a new way to cope when life gets overwhelming.
Since these steps were first published by Alcoholics Anonymous, they have been adopted by many different groups to help their members become "happily and usefully whole."

We guarantee the 12 Steps will change your life. If alcoholism isn't your issue, we challenge you to can focus on other compulsive drives that better describe your personal struggle using this program as a way of coming to terms with the acceptance, courage, and wisdom needed to navigate life within the struggle.
How to do that? For example, your struggle might best be worded: We admitted we were powerless over binge-eating -- that our lives had become unmanageable." Insert your personal struggle into the step, and get busy healing.
