A gentle path July 10, 2010
By julius
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some helpful suggestions, but defintely not the end all be all of 12 step guides. Remember, most of these "Guides" are written by individuals, not by group concience of any 12 step program. Therefore someone is making a profit over spritiual principles that are freely available and that SHOULD be freely given away.

I noticed in step 4 he has a section about "bad" anger and then "good" anger. This division is NOT in the Big Book of Alcoholics anonymous. This is purely some group therapy thing Carnes came up with. According to the Big Book, we addicts have to strive be free of anger. Period. I still get angry, don't get me wrong, but the difference is that I take action to turn away from anger. This is one big problem I have with the book. The 12 and 12 of AA is much better.

A thorough journey through the twelve steps. Patrick Carnes is a pioneer in Sexual Addiction Recovery and has written a twelve step workbook in a simplified and concise way. This book covers all compulsive and addictive behaviors such as alcohol, drugs, food, sex, money etc. I have used this book for over twenty years beginning with myself and then working with others. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

A Prescription for Living November 24, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thousands of self-help books are on the market. This one was not written as self-help. It was written for those in recovery from alcohol.
However, anyone practicing its guidelines and suggestions can find a life of peace, joy and freedom from fear.

It must be read daily, like prescription medicine that must be taken everyday. It is life changing. Others will see the positive changes before you do.
