The Red Road to Wellbriety: In The Native American Way

by Hazelden Foundation

Time and time again our Elders have said that the 12 steps of AA are just the same as the principles that our ancestors lived by, with only one change. When we place the 12 steps in a circle then they come into alignment with the circle teaching that we know from many of our tribal ways. When we think of them in a circle and use them a little differently, then the words will be more familiar to us. This book is about a Red Road, Medicine Wheel Journey to Wellbriety - to become sober and well in a Native American cultural way. Proceeds benefit the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library System.

Interesting to learn about how well respected the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps are in the Native American community. This book synthesizes the 12 steps with Native American tradition and then recounts personal stories of recovery.
