I’m John Elford and I’m a person in long term recovery.
In the past 20 years I’ve supported many many people in their recovery journey, both professionally and personally, helping them to get well and overcome their addiction.
Worldwide over 25,000 people have used my books to help them learn about recovery using the 12 Steps.

I have evaluations from hundreds of people using my Integrated Step Course in rehabs and treatment settings. Many of the facilitators I’ve trained are still in touch and continue to do great work around the world.
