Staying Sober Without God: The Practical 12 Steps to Long-Term Recovery from Alcoholism and Addictions

12-Step Compatible

The program in this book is very compatible with traditional 12-step recovery and traditional 12-step meetings. If you have meetings you like, there's no reason to stop attending.

Psychology-Based

This book uses psychology-based tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to guide you toward real recovery without the need for blind faith in a god or higher power.

Compassionate

The path in SSWOG is inclusive. There is no judgment of other approaches, whether faith-based or not. All that is offered is an alternative approach to those who desire it.

Practical

This program focuses on the practical actions you can take to live a life that is in line with your values and leads to robust, long-term recovery. No magic. No metaphysics. Just concrete actions and habits that make a difference.
