Mommy smiled at Janey and said, “I missed you so much too, and I’m very glad you are here. I’m not sure yet when I’ll be coming home. I need to be here until the doctor thinks I can stay healthy on my own.”
Janey looked at Mommy. She looked at her face, her arms, her legs, and her body. Janey couldn’t see anything wrong. Mommy looked just fine. “You look okay to me. I can’t see where you’re sick. Where are you sick, Mommy?”

Exploring the Twelve Steps
T
his series of 5 ½” x 8 ½” saddle-stitched booklets, ranging from thirty-two to fortyeight 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. 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. These 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. ISBN: 978-1-937612-21-4 • $34.95 (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.
