Restored to Sanity: Essays on the Twelve Steps by Unitarian Universalists

by Ken, Cathlean (coauthor)

Unitarian Universalist writers reflect on their experiences while walking the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and other Twelve-Step programs. Some of the authors have been deeply inspired and affected by the Twelve Steps. Others have struggled with the God-language of AA and have had to reinterpret it for themselves. Still others have maintained long-time sobriety and have found lasting support from the larger fellowship of Twelve Step programs. All tell their stories with great honesty and humility, providing inspiration and hope for those who struggle with addiction and for their friends and family members. Each Step is explored with two separate heartfelt essays, plus a meditation or prayer. Ideal for small groups to read, reflect upon, and discuss, or for individual reflection. The editors and authors have remained anonymous, in keeping with the time-honored tradition of Twelve-Step practice.
