The steps outlined in this book offer a complete, revolutionary change in perception of life, self, and others - what the book calls a "spiritual experience". If you are a desperate alcoholic/addict that has tried other methods (rehab, therapy, harm reduction, etc) to no avail, this book is for you. It offers way more than a solution to your drinking problem - it offers true contentment and peace of mind through rigorous honesty and connection/service to others.
