An Atheists Twelve Steps to Self-improvement - To accompany any Program

A secular alternative program to the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous for addicts who want to beat drugs, gambling, overeating, sex addiction or simply bad behavior. This is a companion to any twelve step program for potential steppers put off by the god stuff in the AA steps. This book is for two groups of people. First are those on an AA-12-step-derived program like Gamblers Anonymous, OA and NA who are uneasy with the god element in the steps. The steps in this book are tweaked specially for you. (Some AAs might prefer this book to the one written specifically for them, An Atheists Unofficial Guide to AA, if they’re not so interested in the whys and wherefores of the atheist point of view.) Secondly there are non-addicts who would benefit from the self-improvement element in the twelve steps, but who are equally put off by the god stuff. Let’s call them bad behavers. If they wanted to set up groups of their own they could call them BB. Many potential steppers are put off by the seeming religiousness of AA’s (Alcoholics Anonymous) twelve steps on which many programs are based. So there is a need for an explicitly secular version. This work is aimed at anyone who could benefit from following a twelve step program, but has been put off by the god stuff.It is suggested everyone should buy Everyone's an Addict, the book with the blue cover, but no more than one of Vince's accompanying handbooks - which are this one, Twelve Steps to Self-improvement with the pink cover, and the one with a yellow cover, An Atheists Unofficial Guide to AA, or the latest, advanced, Secular AA which enables readers to construct their own individual programs.
