Know Thyself 

Addictions and compulsive behaviors seem to be the normal currently. Many new people to 12-Step programs are kept back from completing the 12 Steps of recovery. There doesn’t seem to be much information available for completing the actual Steps. Before you can complete the Step, you must have the information to do so. This book will help you gather all the information you will need. Nothing can be written to take the place of meetings and having a sponsor. They are essential parts of any recovery process to gain a healthier life. To understand an addict or one with compulsive behaviors takes someone who has already been there. It takes someone who knows what it is like, one who can understand. Someone who has walked a mile in your shoes. It also takes a careful evaluation of your life. This book will walk you through the gathering of information you need to be able to understand you. After you have gathered the information, you and your sponsor, accountability partner, clergy, or other trustworthy individual can piece together an accurate accounting for the working of the Step work. You will actually write down the Step information so you will be able to review it any time you need it. Many times, this Step work is read aloud to the 12-Step group you attend, or in your accountability group. Other times, you might be asked to speak at a convention or a larger 12-Step meeting. You will already have your talk ready, and you will have the confidence to deliver it. Know Thyself gives you the tools to gather all the information to enhance your recovery process.
