Twelve-Step principles beyond sobriety

Abraham J. Twerski takes the Twelve Steps—best known through Alcoholics Anonymous—and considers how they can be applied to ordinary challenges as well as addiction. The topics named include stress, self-doubt, conflict with others, priorities, rationalization, and responses to failure. Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts strips provide illustrations throughout, bringing Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang into a guide that connects the steps with everyday situations. Spirituality is also part of the book’s scope, approached as a personal matter. The emphasis is on using a recovery framework to reflect on habits and life’s ups and downs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in applying Twelve-Step ideas outside addiction recovery.
  • Readers seeking a psychology-oriented guide to stress, self-doubt, or interpersonal conflict.
  • Peanuts fans interested in its use as an illustrative companion to self-help topics.

Alcoholics Anonymous made its Twelve Steps for achieving sobriety famous. In Waking Up Just in Time, psychiatrist Dr. Abraham J. Twerski shows how anyone can use these powerful principles to navigate life's everyday challenges--from stress, self-doubt, and interpersonal conflict to addiction. Dr. Twerski gently guides readers through the Twelve Steps toward a happier, more fulfilling life.

Years ago, Dr. Twerski discovered how effective Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strips were in his psychiatric practice. The warmth and humor of Peanuts gave doctor and patient a comfortable, shared language for healing. Now, Dr. Twerski once again invites Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang to illuminate these life-changing steps in their own inimitable way.
