A Man's Way Through the Twelve Steps

Summary

Humility and powerlessness can be hard for many men to admit, but coronavirus doesn't care how tough anybody is. This recovery resource can help anyone who's angry and anxious find a better way to live in troubled times.

A fresh interpretation of the healing process established by the Twelve Steps, with an eye toward the social, cultural, and psychological factors that affect men—and thus their recovery from addiction.

In A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps, author Dan Griffin uses interviews with men in various stages of recovery, excerpts from relevant Twelve Step literature, and his own experience to offer the first holistic approach to sobriety for men. Listeners work through each of the Twelve Steps, learn to reexamine negative masculine scripts that have shaped who they are and how they approach recovery, and strengthen the positive and affirming aspects of manhood.

This book offers the tools needed for men to work through issues with which they struggle, including difficulty admitting powerlessness, finding connection with a Higher Power, letting go of repressed anger and resentment, contending with sexual issues, and overcoming barriers to intimacy and meaningful relationships.
