Stepping in Pooh

Stepping In Pooh is a tongue-in-cheek look at how Winnie the Pooh, the wonderful creation of A.A Milne would view the world of 12 Step Recovery.

In this book, we explore the typical 12 step program – agnostic of whether it is Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous, Over Eaters, Gambling, Love, Co-Dependence, etc.

Each Step of the program is identified with the typical language of the step, as well as guidance on how to consider the tasks in each step.

Insightful relevant quotes from Winnie the Pooh and Friends as well as popular Addiction related quotes from public personalities and celebrities.

The original version of A.A. Milne’s Winnie The Pooh was created in 1926, and has recently been placed into the public domain. This book lovingly borrows illustrations and critical quotes from that story.

Addiction is a painful debilitating disease that requires a diligent path of guidance. We have much to learn from the friendships, love, and resilience found in the characters of the Hundred Acre Wood.

As often said throughout the world of addiction recovery, “The opposite of addiction is connection.” And the stories of Winnie the Pooh are full of friendships and connection overcoming hard times.
