William didn't know something was missing until it happened. He'd been in recovery for alcohol and drugs for years. He was a recovery activist and a spokesperson for the gold standard of treatment and recovery organizations. He was a model leader and follower of Twelve Step programs. But, still, he slipped. Privately, he was addicted to painkillers while publicly saying he was in recovery from alcohol and drug use. How did it go so wrong? With brutal honesty and introspection, William shares what happened after sobriety—after he'd published his memoir.

The 12-Step model for recovery and healing has helped millions of addicts worldwide not only find and maintain sobriety but live healthier, happier, more intimately connected lives. But for some reason, this formula has never taken root beyond the recovering addict community. Until now.

The path of recovery involves difficult and sometimes emotionally painful tasks,...

And we've grown so fast primarily because we've just followed AA's footsteps.

If drinking and using were our only problem, then once we stopped using, all our problems would disappear. We can see why recovery is so difficult and elusive, and why so many people struggle to get well. This is why it is so important to start your recovery with the spiritual principle of surrender.
