The Practical 12 Steps: An Addiction Recovery Guide for Atheists and Agnostics

Is belief in God or the supernatural the only way to get clean and sober? Is our only hope of abstaining from self-destructive and compulsive behavior to take a leap of faith and place all of our trust in something that we can't see, hear, or touch? If you're looking for another way, now there is one. The Practical 12 Steps is a modern, non-religious approach to the 12 steps that is based in clinical psychology and down-to-earth principles of personal growth.
Developed by psychotherapist Jeffrey Munn, The Practical 12 Steps is an alternative to the traditional steps that is tailored for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and anyone who wants a more grounded approach to recovery from the self-destructive cycle of addiction and compulsive behaviors. These steps are designed to work for individuals attending either traditional or secular 12-step meetings, as well as for people who are not currently attending meetings at all.
Jeffrey Munn is a psychotherapist who has been in recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism for over a decade. He has worked professionally with clients struggling with addiction and other compulsive behaviors for nine years. His rational, no-nonsense approach to the 12 steps is a refreshing change from the dated approach that was developed in 1935. At last, there's a path to recovery for the rest of us.
