Powerfully Recovered!
Powerfully Recovered!
by Anne W.

Guide Rating -  

Powerfully Recovered! explodes the myths of perpetual powerlessness and never-ending recovery that are often found in the 12 Step movement.

The book is not an alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, CODA or any of the other 12 Step Programs. Instead it traces the roots of various myths that have grown up over time and shows you how the Program was meant to be.

Neither is it about a cure for an addiction or dysfunction. Abstaining is the only answer, but abstaining is a return to normalcy and the door to the promised way of being. The author explains why the Program makes it possible to be "...happy, joyous and free."

Unlike some recent books, Powerfully Recovered! is completely supportive of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Coda, Al-anon and the rest of the various programs. The book uses the Program as it was originally written to show readers what the myths are, why they are a problem and what they can do to solve them so the promises all come true.

Powerfully Recovered! is for every 12 step member, regardless of the addiction. It can ground members in the original intention of the Program.
