Summary: 1st book that focuses on the 12 Steps for Adult Children
Review: The 12 Steps for Adult Children is a unique tool for the millions of adults who suffer the effects of having grown up in a dysfunctional environment.

Children raised in addictive & other dysfunctional families rarely develop a sense of personal security or genuine feelings of self-worth. Seldom feeling safe & loved as children, they are handicapped in their ability to feel whole or to give & receive love as adults.

Based upon the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, this book offers a specific format for moving from isolation & denial to acceptance & competence in dealing with feelings of anger, guilt, fear & despair. By releasing the past & opening up to the present, individuals begin to develop confidence in the realization that they are valuable & worthwhile persons.
