I never understood the 12 steps of A.A. Having a Father who is a recovering alcholic, I was able to understand why he is sober today. I looked at A.A. meetings as a way for the alcholic to recover, not for the person it affected to recover. But, now I see that through his change my life is better, and becasue of the 12 steps most importanly his life is better. Thanks to this book, I am more eductated on what it takes for someone to become sober and stay sober.
Staying sober is a constant fight, as anyone who has battled an addiction can imagine. Even if you've only tried changing a bad habit, you'll understand how easy it is to slip into old ways. Gorski breaks down the relapse process & shows just how important it is not to start. A very gradual, almost imperceptible breakdown of our program leads to falling off the cliff & back into addiction. A must read for anyone who has ever relapsed on drugs or alcohol.
A non-AA way to prevent relapse and thereby stay sober. I found it to be quite negative, but it does provide some information on addiction from a clinical rather than a spiritual perspective.

Gorski & Miller's textbook comes with the option to buy a separate workbook, too. I have yet to work through that, but the textbook is a very good read.
What struck me is that the authors base their knowledge on experiences with actual addicts and use this as the starting point instead of taking AA or a 12 step programme as the point of origin. This impressed me. When that is said, the book is closely tied to the AA 12 step approach and way of thought. But even if you do not subscribe to the powerless dictum and the concept of the need for a Higher Power to keep you sober, there are still a lot of useful insights in the book. I doubt that any addict will not find many examples that could easily be taken from his or her own life. Also, the focus on identifying the warning signs of relapse, and making your own personal list of these in order to prevent relapse strikes me as a very useful tool.
