The Twelve-Step Program was introduced in the mid-nineteen-thirties as a method for people, plagued by the need to drink, to overcome their addiction to alcohol. The program was introduced through the organization known as Alcoholics Anonymous, commonly referred to as 'AA'. Since then, the Twelve-Step Program has been adopted by many other organizations seeking to help relieve various addictions. The use of the Twelve-Step Program has grown to the extent that 'Twelve-Step Program' is almost a household phrase and most individuals are at least aware of the purpose behind it.
The Aquarian Alcoholic is about the Twelve-Step Program but it is not directed at the average individual suffering from an addiction. Instead, it is directed at the individual in harmony with 21st-century thinking, the individual who desires to leave older philosophies behind and who's thinking is beyond the scope of the average person. The Aquarian Alcoholic takes us on a journey through the recovering alcoholic's twelve-step program from the perspective of 21st—century acquired knowledge. The twelve steps are discussed at a higher level of understanding than popularized by the early 1900's organization of Alcoholics Anonymous.
This book was written from the perspective of alcoholism, the addiction to alcohol. However, the same principles presented within apply to many other addictions.
