Explore a new perspective on the power of the Twelve Steps with
The Wide Open
Door. It's a rediscovery of the twelve step program of
Alcoholics Anonymous at a new and
deeper interpersonal level. By connecting the steps to some of
the world's greatest spiritual
philosophies -- Jungian psychology, yoga, the Tao, tribal rites
of passage, and more -- it opens up
new avenues of thought and action about recovery from alcoholism
and addiction. It's an
intriguing, workable blend that doesn't leave the twelve steps
behind, but integrates them back
into the philosophical and spiritual mainstream from which many
of their basic precepts originally
came.
