The Twelve Steps through a gender-aware lens

Dan Griffin’s guide organizes its discussion around the Twelve Steps, drawing on interviews with men at different stages of recovery, Twelve Step literature, and the author’s experience. It considers how social, cultural, and psychological expectations about masculinity can shape recovery, and invites readers to examine those expectations alongside each step. Topics include admitting powerlessness, relating to a Higher Power, anger and resentment, sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. The book presents these issues as part of a broader exploration of sobriety and of defining a personal understanding of masculinity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Men working through the Twelve Steps in addiction recovery
  • Readers interested in how masculine expectations intersect with recovery

A fresh interpretation of the healing process established by the Twelve Steps, with an eye toward the social, cultural, and psychological factors that affect men--and thus their recovery from addiction.

A fresh interpretation of the healing process established by the Twelve Steps, with an eye toward the social, cultural, and psychological factors that affect men--and thus their recovery from addiction.

In A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps, author Dan Griffin uses interviews with men in various stages of recovery, excerpts from relevant Twelve Step literature, and his own experience to offer the first holistic approach to sobriety for men. Readers work through each of the Twelve Steps, learn to reexamine negative masculine scripts that have shaped who they are and how they approach recovery, and strengthen the positive and affirming aspects of manhood.

This groundbreaking book offers the tools needed for men to work through key issues with which they commonly struggle, including difficulty admitting powerlessness, finding connection with a Higher Power, letting go of repressed anger and resentment, contending with sexual issues, and overcoming barriers to intimacy and meaningful relationships.

A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps offers practical advice and inspiration for men to define their own sense of masculinity and thus heighten their potential for a lifetime of sobriety.
