Exploring the Twelve Steps Exploring Steps: Guides to the Twelve Steps for Individuals and Families is a valuable set of tools to help facilitate the recovery process from a twelve-steporiented perspective. These state-of-the-art resources have been developed by professionals with extensive experience in the fields of behavioral health and addiction treatment, as well as numerous years of personal recovery. This series of twelve 5 ½” x 8 ½” perfect-bound booklets, ranging from thirtytwo to forty-eight pages each, integrates the time-tested wisdom and spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps with current counseling theory and practice approaches. A separate booklet is devoted to each step—for individuals and families, respectively— exploring the meaning of the step and the concepts that are essential to it. There are also knowledge- and skills-building exercises to apply the principles of each step in one’s life, whether as someone who struggles with addiction or as a family member/significant other of someone with addiction. For Individuals—Exploring Steps: Guides for Individuals are specific to the needs of individuals wrestling with their own addiction. For example, Step One focuses on being powerless over addiction and details how to examine the unmanageability in one’s life. It discusses addiction as a brain disease and describes the dynamics of obsession, compulsion, and spiritual self-centeredness. It also addresses the defense mechanisms of minimization, avoidance, denial, and rationalization, as well as the spiritual principles of surrender, honesty, and acceptance. ISBN: 978-1-937612-21-4 • $34.95 (short discount), box of twelve booklets
For Families—Exploring Steps: Guides for Families are specific to the needs of family members and significant others. The wreckage left in the wake of the addiction of a family member or significant other exerts a serious health impact on everyone involved in those “systems”— parents, children, siblings, spouses, partners, etc. Because addiction is a family disease, recovery for family members is a critical, yet often underaddressed, aspect of the healing process.

Why is it no matter how much two people love one another, sometimes the relationship doesn’t work?
In this important and transformative guide, the authors identify the widespread dysfunctional dynamic they call “irrelationship”—a psychological defense system two people create together to protect themselves from the fear and anxiety of really relating. Drawing on their wide clinical experience, the authors look at “song and dance” behavioral routines repeatedly performed by couples in irrelationships and delve into the most difficult emotions and actions to help readers achieve personal breakthroughs. •

Weightless
The Joey Song
My Life as a Fat Man and How I Escaped
A Mother’s Story of Her Son’s Addiction
GREGG McBRIDE
SANDRA SWENSON
Gregg McBride was always determined to make it big—although not quite this literally.
Sometimes addicts don’t recover, but with love and faith, their families can.
Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking in its honesty, Weightless is a tale of “food gone wrong” that chronicles the before, the during, and the after in a way no other book has, and will move, educate, entertain, and inspire anyone who is ready for change.
This is the poignant story of a defiant addict and the mother who won’t give up on him. She finally realizes that it hurts more to hang on than to let go, and that letting go is not the same thing as giving up. Sandra Swenson beautifully orchestrates a mother’s lessons of love and loss, while surviving her son’s addiction.
“In this funny and candid memoir, McBride reveals without shame the psyche of the fat person who learns to ‘eat his problems away’ . . . and unrolls an excruciatingly honest tale of becoming thin.” —Publishers Weekly
“Instead of yet another personal memoir from a recovering addict, Swenson displays a valuable focus on how the toxic corrosion of addiction affects relationships with family and friends.”—Library Journal
