The Steps We Took Spiral-Bound | December 19, 2005

The director of an addiction treatment center for more than four decades, Joe McQ has become an internationally respected teacher and lecturer on the Twelve Step method introduced by Alcoholics Anonymous and since adopted by dozens of recovery groups. In The Steps We Took, Joe offers countless analogies, insights, explanations and elucidations of these principles, drawing from his own recovery experience and those of the hundreds he has helped.

The words of this book's title are said aloud every day by thousands of people meeting together to help each other recover from addictions. The addictions may be to alcohol or cocaine, gambling or food, violence or sex and love, but the path to recovery is the same. This is a book of plain-spoken wisdom for people with addictions and people who love them. Joe McQ has been a student of the Twelve Steps for twenty-eight years. He, like tens of thousands of others, lives them every day, one day at a time. In The Steps We Took, Joe takes us through them, one Step at a time, and helps us understand how they work—and how they can change our lives.
