217- The 12 Steps Revised for Mental Health

You have probably heard of The Twelve Steps used in many recovery programs. Originating with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA,) the steps were designed as a guide to lasting sobriety and an addiction-free lifestyle. Today's guest, Wally, revised the 12 Steps for use in his mental-health management and journey. In this 19-minute episode, we compare the two versions, explore why Wally made the changes he did, and learn how they help him with his PTSD, depression, chronic pain and other challenges. Whether you've worked the steps yourself, or have heard of but never explored them, there is wisdom and value in Wally's words.
