      12 Simple Steps To Loving Life - Robert Radcliffe

      Robert Radcliffe

      Copyright:1915985 ISBN: 978-0-692-40546-8

      Published January, 2016

      Dear Reader

      I felt compelled to write the 12 Simple Steps to Loving Life because it was by taking The Twelve Steps of Alco- holics Anonymous that I was able to transform my life as a homeless juvenile delinquent into the life I enjoy today as a successful business man, loving husband, and caring father. My life today far exceeds the dreams I had before taking The Twelve Steps and I want to share the process with everyone interested in living a richer, fuller life.

      Over the years, I have had the privilege of taking men through these Steps as a means of recovering from alcohol and drug addictions, and have touched count- less lives by chronicling my own profound change in my first book, 180 Degrees. Along my journey, I’ve seen extraordinary results in the lives of others, but it was only after reading Power vs. Force: the Hidden Deter-

      minants of Human Behavior by Dr. David R. Hawkins, who considers The Twelve Steps the most beneficial self-improvement program in history, that I was struck by the insight that everyone - not just those afflicted with alcoholism and addiction - should have the op- portunity to benefit from these Steps.

      The overwhelming response I’ve received to 180 De- grees almost invariably includes an awestruck wonder about how I was able to turn my life around. In 12 Simple Steps to Loving Life I share some excerpts from my per- sonal journey through The Steps and explain how these same Steps can be adapted to meet the needs of anyone.

      My intention is to provide everyone access to this simple method of enhancing life through a proven, world renowned, Twelve Step process. This is the per- fect book for anyone interested in a healthier, more compassionate approach to life’s challenges. A joyous, peaceful life is yours for the reading.

      How It Works

      This book offers a transformative design for living. In 12 Simple Steps, anyone willing to honestly apply The Steps’ principles in their everyday lives will witness transformation. The Steps are life-changing suggestions founded on powerful concepts of faith, hope, and love. The Steps are simple but not easy, recognize this significant difference. We must understand and accept that worthwhile things require effort: The Steps are no exception. We must work for the freedom, joy and peace they offer. The spiritual awakening, once reserved for alcoholics, is now available to anyone willing to embrace The 12 Simple Steps. The sweet enlightenment gained

      is well worth our struggles.

      The Steps can be beneficial even if we are problem

      or illness free. Simply remove the word alcohol from The Steps and they serve our purpose here. We may also replace the word alcohol with any vice that may hinder our success, or any of the seven deadly sins.

      With the help of The 12 Steps we can remove the negative character traits interfering with our happiness. I’ve termed these  defects  ‘Life  Liabilities,’  defining these and any other attributes hindering personal advancement.

      Common Life Liabilities include anger, envy, re- sentment, and feelings of insecurity, depression, and fear. The Steps can and will free us from negativity and its hold over us.

      We seek a life free from these and other Life Liabilities: a peaceful, productive, happy life. You happened upon this book for a reason. You are ready to embrace The Steps and improve your life. Be excited by the possibilities.

      We are comforted by The Twelve Steps’ successful record. The book Alcoholics Anonymous, also known as The Big Book, was originally published in 1939. It was written by founder Bill Wilson, with the help of

      Dr. Bob and some early Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) members, in hopes of reaching and saving as many lives as possible and of preserving the integrity of the program. The Twelve Step plan of action outlined in the book was taken primarily from The Oxford Group, a nondenominational movement modeled after first century Christianity.

      AA’s message of hope and good will has since spread the world over. The first miracles took place in Akron, Ohio and then in neighboring small towns and big cities. Today, miracles happen in every corner of the globe as a direct result of Twelve Step work. Countless people have recovered from chronic alcoholism. These same life-saving Steps can benefit everyone. The Steps can free us from any obsession, defect of character, or any negative mindset. If the solution found in The Steps is powerful enough to free an alcoholic or drug addict from the grips of their disease, then that solution is sufficient to help us with any dilemma.

      How do I know this? I am one of many people who have recovered from drug addiction by taking The

      Twelve Steps. That was 25 years ago and my life has been completely transformed as a result. Recovering from my drug addiction was not easy. Again, The Twelve Steps are simple but the work involved is not easy. It took me more than six years to finally succeed. My journey began on October 1, 1983. I distinctly remember the date because it was one day before I turned 17 years old. It was the day my parents checked me into Coldwater Canyon Hospital, the day I first laid eyes on The Twelve Steps. They were hanging on the wall like they do in countless hospitals, churches, recovery homes, and meeting rooms
