| Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by Hazelden THE Manual on working the 12 Steps |
Everyone working a 12 Step program - regardless of what kind (ie, AA, DA, NA, etc) needs a copy of this book by their side. Bill W. wrote this many years after the Big Book came out, and he wrote it specifically to help people understand and work each of the 12 Steps. And what a masterful job he's done! This book should be required reading for everyone, but if you're lucky enough to be in recovery, you've got the perfect tool for helping you to get the most out of the 12 Steps.
I loved learning that one of my biggest problems was that I was driven by a hundred forms of self centered fear, all stemming from two core fears: either losing something I already had, or not getting something I demanded. How true! This book is filled with gems and discoveries that would take a lifetime for you to learn. The good news is that you can read it in a few hours!
Again, regardless of the type of 12 Step program you are in, get this book and read it as you work your steps. You will always be grateful you did!

| Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by Hazelden Another Good Book |
| A joy to read. Very informative. Twelve-step and twelve traditions, not just for alcoholics anonymous or recovery. Good for everyone. |
| Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by Hazelden Basically the best |
| Simply the best basic recovery and personal spirituality text of the 20th century. Universal spiritual principles explained in clear, concise language. This book is the basis for thousands of self-help, spiritual psychotherapy, and self-awareness works that came after. Wonderful, relevant & powerful spiritual philosophy of living one day at a time. |

.
Count me among the legion of AA members who think this book is a buggering mess. Bill Wilson wrote it while in the midst of a 5 year depression and it shows. Save for the essays on Steps 1 and 8, this book leaves most people more confused than enlightened.
I gave it two stars cause some of the Tradition essays have some good stuff if you're willing to wade into them.

| Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by Hazelden EXCELLENT |
| IT IS VERY HELPFUL TO READ A FEW PAGES OR A CHAPTER A DAY. IT WILL KEEP YOU ON A EVEN TRACK OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU DON'T FIND YOUR ANSWERS HERE TRY THE BIG BOOK. |
