Overview
A (Former) Skepticās Guide to the 12-Step Program
Knowledge from a personal journey.Ā Experiences with addiction vastly differ, but something can be learned from everyoneās journeyāespecially those who achieve sobriety. Author Bucky Sinister penned this book because he had something to share from his own journey, a realization that completely changed his outlook on recovery. This smart and snide book is his testament to the effectiveness of the 12-Step Program, a path to recovery that he never expected to go down (and work).
A tough-love approach to recovery.Ā As a poet, author, and comedian, Sinister doesnāt hold back from speaking the truth in this book. He speaks bluntly about addiction and his own struggles with it. Sinister appeals to those who are turned off by the usual recovery self-helps. He talks straight to readers who struggle to buy into the effectiveness of the 12-Step Programāparticularly those like Sinister, an atheist, who have problems with the āhigher powerā concept intertwined with the program.
A different kind of āself-helpā.Ā Sinisterās book presents itself as self-help, but donāt expect it to have the same tone as others youāve read. The book is full of Sinisterās comedic touch, colorful language, and stories from āscumbagsā that contain life-saving wisdom. An unabashed testimony to Sinisterās personal journey to sobriety and those of others, this recovery book is sure to educate, entertain, and inspire.
