For over 60 years, the twelve step program has guided millions of people, caught up in addictions of various kinds, back to health and wholeness. Rooted in the Christian tradition, these steps offer a path for deep spiritual conversion, a way to regain for our well-being, the lost freedom God intends for us. For over 500 centuries, Ignatian prayer has been a source of spiritual guidance and energy for those seeking a deeper relationship with God, Jesus and Spirit. Freedom and discernment are key themes in Ignatian spirituality, inviting all into a fuller, more authentic Christian lifestyle.This workbook is for everybody who finds themselves out of balance, those overly attached to anything that holds them back from living a more abundant life. Not only addictions, but also old habits, worries, anxieties, resentments, or compulsions that can steal away our peace. This program is unique as it combines the transformative power of the Twelve Step and the Ignatian traditions, using the Gospel stories, meditative Ignatian prayer, and journaling. It can be used in solitude, with a companion, or with a small group.
