An Autobiographical Journey through the 12-Steps

A key piece of the Addictions Support Recovery Initiative is the development of material with which people with FASD who are dealing with addictions can identify.  One of the Recovery Support Program team leaders is currently working to translate the abstract concepts espoused by many recovery programs into a concrete understanding of what works for addicts or alcoholics in their quest for a lifestyle change.  Beginning by breaking down the material from AA/NA into smaller more manageable pieces, the material seeks to explain the philosophy of the 12-Step fellowships in focused, specific ways. The material follows the journey of an individual who identifies with FASD as he interprets and applies the 12 step philosophy to his own recovery.  It is by no means the only way for someone to make personal changes in their life, but its model offers hope and potential guidance for individuals with FASD who are working towards positive, healthy changes.
