The workbook includes

• an overview of the Twelve Steps and insights from well-known recovery resources;
• relevant excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church;
• the wisdom of saints and teachings of theologians;
• powerful prayers and inspiring testimonials; and
• practical tools such as discussion questions, journaling prompts, personal inventories, and reflection exercises.

The Twelve Steps and the sacraments have the power to set you free, no matter what your addiction or unhealthy attachment, and this workbook offers the steps, insights, and practices that can lead you to healing and recovery.

The Catholic in Recovery Workbook can be used with person, or in a group. This book can stand alone or alongside Weeman's award-winning book The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments.
