To change things up a bit, I'll do a small share.

I've started reading Russell Brand's recovery book - I'm not sure how I feel about the guy, not that it matters, but I reached the point pretty early on where he shares his version of the 12 steps. I found it to be insightful and digestible, a good read for anyone who's wary of AA/NA or needs an informal/approachable way of understanding the steps.

It's not for everyone, and he drops the f bomb pretty consistently, but I wanted to share in case anyone needs to hear it. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for sharing this! I hadn't seen it before. I scanned it quickly and I like it. Personally, I like that it retains the action and spirit of Step work but removes the 'you are powerless and diseased' and higher power parts - in place of things more like self-accountablity and -reflection

Thanks for the post- I certainly hope there is enough visibility for those who need this positive reinforcement today!
