Based on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, the Twelve Steps, and a system of principles, values, and laws common to many Native American tribes, these materials provide an innovative blend of positive recovery principles. Each part of Recovery from the Heart urges those of us who are recovering alcoholic or addicted Native Americans to apply what we learn by setting achievable goals, creating strategies for results, and building in follow-through experiences.

The workbook's questions and lists bring together the realities of Native American struggles with positive recovery planning.
