English is a second language for the author and many terms are explained in American Sign Language. Language used and sentence structure is easily understood by Deaf.

Those of us in recovery have so much to be grateful for: Fellowship, a group of people who share their experience, strengths and hope with each other. Program, millions of people have become happy, joyous and free by following our program of recovery. Wayne Dyer says,”Friends are God’s way of apologizing for your family” we have such wonderful friends that they will help, even when the best and hardest help they give is to do nothing and let us learn. The book, How It Works shows how universal spiritual principles operate in the 12 steps of recovery. You don’t have to be an alcoholic or drug addict for those spiritual principles to work, but it helps because of the programs in place for recovery. The seminar "Evolve" is an introduction to a program for social drinkers (Earth People, Recovery Challenged, Normal People) as well as those in recovery.
