Going Deeper With The Twelve Steps Rene Lafaut

Most people when they have a compulsion usually embrace it and try to live with it, or they feel guilty, try to hide it, and make excuses for it. I have done both. Such dynamics can become love-hate relationships. Getting hungry enough for change is necessary to defeat our compulsions. But this is not enough. Many people have gone before us, and it is prudent to be teachable in their presence when they point to and advise us on how to connect with God in ways for hope, and spiritual life to be birthed in us so that our compulsions can be defeated. This book helps to defeat stangnancy by going deeper in the spirit of the Twelve Steps.

Some addicts may think that their only problem is their addiction. I know from personal experience. I've learned that unhealthy relational attitudes can be linked to addictions. This book addresses some of these connections. We don't have to be a dry drunk. No one method will necessarily heal all of our wounds. We need to search where we are at and walk by faith, prayer and hope instead of focusing on only what we think we know.
