Five Stars Todd M. Read Great, quick read for those in AA who are disenfranchised by the overly religious bs of the "big book."
Until recently he knew almost nothing about 12 step recovery programs, except they were probably a lot of nonsense. . This book describes his personal journey of recovery and how he came to understand its philosophy. Kevin Vader (psuedonym) holds a PhD in Philosophy (University of Minnesota) and an MA in Mathematics
What are the underlying principles of 12 step recovery? Drawing from key texts and practices, this book clarifies some of the basic principles, shows how they relate to one another, and how they provide a rich framework for living that can benefit anyone -- even those who are not suffering from addiction or do not believe in God. It is simple enough to be read by those with no previous background in recovery or philosophy. It can be enjoyed in about an hour, but invites you to a lifetime of learning and reflection.. This book is an inspiring testimony from the author's own journey through recovery, as well as a philosophical interpretation of the principles underlying recovery
