This guide is a sequence, not a doctrine and not the Twelve Steps. Read it from top to bottom. Stop when a page is enough for one day.
The God in these pages is the God you can actually approach: not an idea you must defend, and not a mood you must manufacture. If the word God is still closed to you, begin with the first page and use whatever name honesty will allow.
The official path of recovery lives with Alcoholics Anonymous. Use that text with a meeting and, when you can, with another person. Use this guide when you need language for the spiritual want underneath the drinking, the using, or the illness.
