Steps & Traditions for Dualaholics Michael B

It has been a year since I originally published this book. People seem to like it when I give them a copy. Maybe one day it will sell. That is in God's hands. Writing the book has been good for my recovery. If you find some benefit, it is icing on the cake. In this text, I try to bring a bit more spirituality to the dual diagnosis literature. While I use some of the medical understanding I have picked up over the years, I will try to focus on the spiritual angle that books written by therapists cannot hope to reach. In the end, dualaholics, like alcoholics, find a spiritual awakening from one dualcoholic helping another. I do not soft pedal character defects or God, which is often the flaw in literature created for us from outside the fellowship but I will present the need to find perfection in a very different light than Oxford, Dr. Bob and Bill W. presented it. I hope you find it helpful. The suggested Traditions address the vital question of whether we should all continue in our respective fellowships or, to honor the Fifth Tradition, create a fellowship of our own. I hope this is use in our trudge to wellness. In the text, I refer to the Big Book and the Twelve & Twelve, so chapters are much shorter than otherwise. This should help them be useful for reading in meetings.
