"Highly reccommend this book. Kasl understands the patriarchal repression of AA and strikes out on her own in full force, after 23 years. The book speaks well for honesty in recovery, (not the norm). How to build healthy groups, acknowledgement of alternate recovery's and success, eg, Women for Sobriety, SMART Recovery, Secular Organizations for Sobriety. I consider this both a primer and a keeper."
"A feminist alternative to the 12-step model of recovery. Kasl critiques the Alcoholics Anonymous program, outlining ways in which it has not fully met the needs of women, trauma survivors, LGBT people, people of color, and non-Christians. She offers a 16-step approach which focuses more on strengths and building self-esteem than on the leveling of self and powerlessness approach of AA.
I found this book at just the right time in my life. It validated much of what I was feeling and gave me hope."
"I read this book when I was on a search to un-learn some "co-dependency" patterns and was frustrated at how AA all the literature was. Really, this book IS about Alcoholism so it did not really apply for what I was going through in the moment, but has great alternative ideas and way open approaches to healing. Recently some issues around addiction have come up in the lives of folks I love and I find it applicable and hella useful. I have gifted it to folks yearning to quit drinking, but found themselves frustrated at the "recovery" options. I received fabulous feedback. Check it out- if it at all applies."
"This book is a life saver for those of us in recovery who don't fit into the typical 12-step Alcoholics Annonymous model. Teh author validates other paths to healing and recovery and explains the problems many people face in 12-step groups. She also outlines her own more empowering steps- 16 in all- that take into account the need to explore how oppressions such as racism, sexism, and homophobia play into addiction and recovery. Completely wonderful- I only wish there were 16 step groups everywhere!"
