Does life feel unmanageable? Are you struggling at work, home or in key relationships? If so, this workbook can help. We all have coping strategies to help us survive tough times. We might use alcohol or drugs, food, money, sex or even shopping as coping mechanisms for our anxieties and insecurities. Turning to compulsions does not solve our problems; it just adds to the chaos. This material invites you to explore the 12-Step process starting with Step 1. Hear first-hand accounts from others who have gone before you on this journey. Draw on Christian principles and practices such as scripture, prayer and meditation in conjunction with the 12-Step model. This faithful and supportive approach to recovery can guide you into a more serene way of living.
