We
don't know whose hands are holding this paper,
whose eyes are reading this page. Because we want
to be most things to all alcoholics and addicts,
we've arranged our program for those just starting
out with at least 24hrs clean - not those who
swore off ten minutes ago or plan to swear off
twenty minutes from now. It's for those in their
first months or year of recovery - still
uncertain, still feeling lost, still not sure
they're going to get there, who may still need
that life preserver to keep them afloat. It's also
for those who have been clean and sober for years
but still feel as though something's missing, as
though a piece here and a piece there in the
puzzle of sobriety have somehow been misplaced.
And it's for those who have made false turns,
gotten stuck in mental cul-de-sacs, or been mugged
by "just one drink" or a seductive "one little
hit" along the way.
It's all here in this program - the experiences
and wisdom of thousands of good people victimized
by addictive diseases, distilled into practical
advice that takes you step by step, from the
moment you decide on sobriety through the weeks,
months and strength-gathering years that follow. |
