53. Are The 12 Steps Necessary To Reach Long-Term Recovery?


Listen Later

In this episode of In the Circle, we are joined by Elliot who asks a question that’s on everyone's mind: Is it necessary to work the 12-Step Program to reach long-term recovery?

This critically important inquiry has been shared by millions of people over the last 80 years since the 12 steps first were published. Does the 12-Step Program work? We'll share our own stories while we explore this idea of long-term recovery. 

Whether you're working on the 12 steps now, just curious, or anywhere in between, today's talk is for everyone. Let's dive into what the 12 steps are all about, what they're not, and how to implement them into your long-term recovery.
