Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

Merging Buddhist mindfulness practices with the Twelve Step program, this updated edition of the bestselling recovery guide One Breath at a Time will inspire and enlighten you to live a better, healthier life. Many in recovery turn to the Twelve Steps to overcome their addictions, but struggle with the spiritual program. But what they might not realize is that Buddhist teachings are intrinsically intertwined with the lessons of the Twelve Steps, and offer time-tested methods for addressing the challenges of sobriety. In what is considered the cornerstone of the most significant recovery movement of the 21st century, Kevin Griffin shares his own extraordinary journey to sobriety and how he integrated the Twelve Steps of recovery with Buddhist mindfulness practices. With a new foreword by William Alexander, the author of Ordinary Recovery, One Breath at a Time takes you on a journey through the Steps, examining critical ideas like Powerlessness, Higher Power, and Moral Inventory through the lens of the core concepts of Buddhism—the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and more. The result is a book that presents techniques and meditations for finding clarity and awareness in your life, just as it has for thousands of addicts and alcoholics.

The Power of Twelve Prayers is Gary's third book on the power of prayer as expressed in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. He delves into the history of seven spiritual organizations that preceded AA and takes a long look at AA's underlying philosophy, Jesus's Sermon on the Mount. He takes the reader through prayers that express the essence of each of the Twelve Steps, while embracing the Beatitudes, the blessings that start the Sermon on the Mount. As an AA historian who has developed a presentation that he shares with the AA community regarding the foundation and development of the fellowship, Gary is uniquely positioned to inspire others with often unrecognized deep inspiration that illuminates the Twelve Steps. Praise for The Power of Twelve Prayers "Gary has devoted an immense amount of time to learning about, filming, and circulating video materials on where AA comes from and got its ideas. And now he has put together an excellent video series of AA historical materials...accurately and well." - Richard Burns, AA Historical Author "Gary has always acknowledged his successes to the Holy Spirit. His humility and devotion inspire his words." - Paul Kominis, longtime AA member and fellowship mentor. "The Power of Twelve Prayers represents a communion of orthopraxis prayer and the practice of twelve-step spirituality--an orthopraxis--for transformational abiding in Him who says, 'Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing' (John 15:5)." - Rev. Philip Bjornberg, Trinity Episcopal Church, Portland CT
