I've had on plenty of people (including myself) who have found recovery through the 12 step programs. I've also had several on who have found it through other means and I am always excited when I get to hear someone else's perspective on addiction that I've not yet run across...my guest to day is no exception to that. Zach Rhoads is co-author of the book "Outgrowing Addiction" and is a coach with the Life Process Program, an online based recovery program that proclaims itself to be an "alternative to AA". This is a fantastic conversation with a fantastic person who is without a doubt doing some big things in people's lives. Check out his book available on Amazon and be sure to check out the program:
