Basic Text

The All Addictions Anonymous (Secular) Basic Text offers a practical, secular approach to recovery from addictions and compulsive behaviors.

At the heart of the book is our non-religious, non-spiritual Nine Step program of action, with detailed guidelines for putting each step into practice. The Basic Text explores building healthy habits, strong character, developing a recovery circle, and overcoming our basic character liabilities including pride, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth, greed, and lust. 

The book also addresses subjects that can play an important role in addiction and recovery, including sexual trauma, natural and unnatural hypersexuality, abandonment anxiety, methamphetamine psychosis, unconditional forgiveness, and the healing power of True Intimacy (Into-Me-See).

The Basic Text also includes the Fourteen Traditions in short and long form, along with meeting formats to help individuals and groups establish and conduct All Addictions Anonymous (Secular) meetings.

Above all, the Basic Text is about putting recovery into action: overcoming destructive patterns, building healthy habits and strong character, achieving greater health and balance in life, and helping others do the same.

The All Addictions Anonymous (Secular) Basic Text is currently being prepared for publication. Final editing and formatting, completion of the website, and preparation for publication through Amazon remain to be completed.

Once published, the Basic Text will be available for purchase on Amazon and in our meetings.
