For several years, my wife and I volunteered as leaders in an Addiction Recovery Program sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The following writings chronicle my thoughts and impressions as I assisted others to work through a healing process adapted from the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Perhaps the most interesting thing I learned as I taught the 12 Steps is that they really apply to everyone, whether an addict or not. Life is about learning, growing and improving. The principles of these programs, if followed, provide a chance to change and become our best selves.
