Shortcomings or Character Defects?
People often wonder what shortcomings or character defects are. Are they the same thing? How do I know how to recognise them? What can I do about them.
12-Step Recovery and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
If you want to learn the similarities between the Twelve Steps and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy then this is the book for you.
Journaling
These recovery journals have been carefully crafted to encompass four essential practices: daily inventory, gratitude lists, a 10-minute diary, and a monthly reflection, it also includes a daily affirmation. It is written with particular consideration for those embarking, or continuing to, work a programme of 12 Step Recovery.
CBT & the 12 Steps (as I like to shorten this rather lengthy title to) makes a great audio book.
