published, in 1939, the authors were advised to make
the tone of the work less directive: a lot of \u2018musts\u2019 were
replaced by \u2018should\u2019 or \u2018we suggest\u2019. Remarkably, the
approach worked. Perhaps alcoholics are people who
don\u2019t like being told what to do. If you compare the
Twelve Steps of AA to the Ten Commandments in the
Christian Bible, you will see a marked difference in

There is something very moving about reading the
lives and experiences of people just like us who
struggled with addiction nearly a hundred years

are truly inspirational. I am proud and grateful to
follow in their footsteps. I will try to be open to the
possibilities of change so that with humility and
love I too can be an example to others.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
