Glenn’s new book is an outstanding resource for both counselors and clients. He translates the principles of recovery that were discovered in the 1930s through the 1950s into modern language and integrates them with cognitive behavioral therapy. You will learn a lot if you read this book and walk away with many important tools to initiate and sustain recovery.
– Dr. Allen Berger, author of the recovery mainstay 12 Smart Things to do When the Booze and Drugs are Gone.
Modern 12 Step Recovery
Glenn Rader
Modern 12 Step Recovery is a user-friendly, secular guide to the 12 Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The book includes updated Steps, information from science and psychology, and a working guide to the 12 Step program that makes the program welcoming to people of all ages and beliefs. This “modernization” was achieved without making any fundamental changes to the AA program.
Modern 12 Step Recovery is 100% compatible with pursuing a program of recovery within the traditional AA mutual support network. This includes AA meetings, sponsor relationships, and other activities. The information in this book is also relevant to people in recovery from co-dependency (Al-Anon) and other 12 Step-based programs.
