I believe Russell to be very intelligent and also an interesting human. It did take awhile, especially though step #9. take the time to "help yourself" with the coaching from Russell, you won't be sorry... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A modern interpretation of the 12 Steps! *by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017* My personal opinion is that he did an excellent job at summarizing the 12 Steps by providing a modern interpretation regarding how the 12 Steps work and, more importantly, how to apply the steps to all aspects of our lives.I think he has done the recovery community a incredibly huge service by writing this book. He has been sober for 14 years and, in my opinion, has a lot of credibility based on his long term recovery.It is not autobiographical like many "self help" recovery books. He doesn't ramble on about how messed up he was in the past. There are perhaps a dozen situations he draws from to describe what his thinking patterns used to be like, and what they are like now. He uses his life experience to illustrate how the 12 Steps helped him process his old resentments and what he does now to prevent falling into old patterns of thinking.This book won't solve all of an alcoholic's or addict's problems, but it is a great jumping board if you think you are ready to dive in to a program. Anyone who reads this will have a better understanding of what recovery entails.Being that I am also in a 12 step program I can completely 'get' what he is saying. I think most addicts and alcoholics can relate to his way of thinking. Perhaps many normal people can too.If you are hesitant about joining any 12 Step fellowship I highly recommend that you read or listen to this book before you discount 12 steps altogether.Having an open mind is essential in long term recovery, so please explore all options in order to have a better understanding of what you could be dismissing.It saddens me to think that so many people miss out on improving the quality of their lives because of a bias towards what they think could be a cult. AA and NA are not cults. Russell does a great job at explaining the rationale behind this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Psychologist Who Treated People w/ Addictions & Recommend This (IF You Can Handle F-Bombs)! *by K***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2022* Yes. This book is jammed packed with f-bombs. Truly. If you're even a little offended by cussing, this book isn't for you. And I also have to admit, I'm not a big fan of Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, or basically Anything Anonymous. I can't stand the whole idea of expecting people with addiction issues to solve every freaking non-perfection they ever had. What other kind of problem is like that? Anything I've ever read or any accounting I've ever heard of AA/NA meetings seems to involve requiring people to somehow admit they're 'less than' in order to overcome their struggles with addiction.I get it. Really, I do. Admit you have a problem and be humble, then you can build yourself back up. It's sound. That idea is sound, anyway. But when it comes to addiction treatment, most of it is facilitated by people who are themselves in recovery. Which is fine. Really, I get that, too. But I think training in the science of addiction is pretty important. Because knowing the science of addiction has been really helpful to people with whom I've worked.Having said all that, this book is based on the 12 steps. But I still recommend it (IF you can handle the swearing). Because the way he has interpreted the steps has been so honest, so humble, that I think people can get a lot from it. I haven't recommended this book to a lot of my own patients, usually because I think some of the ideas would just be too off-putting to them. But I have recommended it to a few, and I've gifted it to a few people in my personal life when I've seen them struggling with some kind of addiction - be it alcohol, substances, shopping, gambling, whatever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47009283-recovery-freedom-from-our-addictions-hardcover-october-3-2017](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47009283-recovery-freedom-from-our-addictions-hardcover-october-3-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
