Summary:

People of the Boomer Generation are facing a new set of physical,
economic, spiritual, and emotional challenges that come with aging.
Whether they are thirty days or thirty years sober, for those
hundreds of thousands of boomers in recovery from addiction, such
changes impact their sobriety. In A Boomer's Guide to the 12 Steps,
Stephen Roos examines these challenges in the context of each Step
and illustrates his points through the experiences of eight
recovering people representative of this generation: Judy's husband
left her for a younger woman. Sally is the caretaker for her
ninety-year-old father. Jowin's children have moved back home Craig,
only four months sober, is dealing with life-threatening health
problems. Olga worries that she may outlive her savings. Those
featured in A Boomer's Guide to the 12 Steps are dealing, sometimes
struggling, with the circumstances, relationships, and feelings that
affect everyone who is trying to get sober—or stay sober—as he or she
ages. Through their shared experiences, readers learn to approach the
Twelve Steps from a whole new angle and to continue to grow and
flourish in recovery.
