Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps

2011

Rohr reads the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as a practical guide to the surrender of ego and the discovery of the True Self, arguing that the recovery movement stumbled upon a profoundly universal human wisdom. This book bridges addiction recovery and contemplative spirituality in a way that serves both communities, making it valuable for men working through any form of compulsive behavior or ego-driven suffering. For men who have experienced the breakdown of their constructed identity through addiction, failure, or loss, this book provides a spiritual framework for transformation that meets them exactly where they are. It is one of the most practically useful books Rohr has written.
