The Twelve Steps of A.A. are a way of life for anyone seeking a spiritual program. By substituting the word "alcohol" for any particular problem of life such as drugs, gambling, sex, food/sugar, self-harm, co-dependence, etc, one can identify and apply the A.A. program, found in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as a recipe for recovery.

Lois W., the "first lady" of A.A. and the non-alcoholic wife of Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, tells her story of "co-dependence addiction" and her spiritual growth by applying A.A. principles to her own life.
