In this episode of In the Circle, we explore an amazing inquiry about the 12 steps from Amit. He asks: Can the 12 steps be useful for people who do not have substance use addictions?Can they be helpful for people who experience trauma, depression, or anxiety? I credit the 12 steps with saving my life from severe drug addiction. At the same time, I feel the 12 steps are but one possible entry point to a life beyond addiction. This thought-provoking inquiry allows us to explore what the 12 steps are, what they are not, and why I believe everyone should take the time to explore what the 12 steps have to offer. Tommy discussesWhy we follow the 12 stepsAre the 12 steps for everyone?How to live a life beyond addictionThe first step to recoveryHow to let go of the past and start anew Looking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?
