Sobering Wisdom is the first book to examine the Twelve Step program through the lens of philosophers. The scholarship across the board is sound, and the essays gathered here add great value to the discussion of an intrinsically worthwhile topic.--Frank Seeburger, Professor Emeritus, University of Denver, author of Addiction and Responsibility

Sobering Wisdom is the first book to examine the Twelve Step program through the lens of philosophers. The scholarship across the board is sound, and the essays gathered here add great value to the discussion of an intrinsically worthwhile topic. --Frank Seeburger, Professor Emeritus, University of Denver, author of Addiction and Responsibility There are very few works that grapple with addiction and recovery from philosophical perspectives. There are even fewer when it comes to philosophy and the spirituality of the Twelve Steps. I believe this book will do a great deal to fill this void. I would recommend it to my friends who struggle with spirituality and recovery or who seek a deeper understanding. I would also recommend it to people who are wary of the Christian God-language of Alcoholics Anonymous. --Peg O'Connor, Gustavus Adolphus College, author of the blog ""Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken: Insights on Addiction and Philosophy"" for Psychology Today
