Common Sense Recovery

An Atheist's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous

by Adam N.

Overview

This book does something remarkable by describing how human behavior and recovery from alcoholism, once commonly understood in religious terms in AA, is now better understood in a secular fashion. Common Sense Recovery: An Atheist's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous presents the key elements of recovery from alcoholism - as detailed in the 12 Steps - in a refreshing and non-religious manner and is a book that is helpful to atheists, agnostics and everyone else in recovery from alcoholism in AA.

Description

Religion was once the primary way to understand human behavior. That was certainly true when the book Alcoholics Anonymous was written in 1939. Be we have learned much over the past 75 years. The author of Common Sense Recovery: An Atheist's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous describes in a gentle and enriching fashion how the key ingredients of recovery are better understood today via science and secularism. The book takes a close look at the 12 Steps and how and why they can be of help to the suffering alcoholic, and it does this from a modern, uplifting and secular perspective. This remarkable book is long overdue and contains important insights for the future of the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.
