This is possibly the best handbook available for those who wish to quickly understand and apply the 12-Step program of recovery pioneered by the First 100 members of Alcoholics Anonymous. The author summed it up nicely: “Complicated people seem to have to learn the hard way what each of these simple steps does not mean before they can see in plain language what they do mean. The purpose of this little book is to help you avoid the time-consuming pitfalls I stumbled through on my confused but steady way to a life that is wonderful beyond measure.” – Joe Klaas
