Summary

The Fix: Finding Freedom and Joy Through the Twelve Steps

Did you know that anyone–addicts or non-addicts–can benefit from working the Twelve Steps and find the freedom, joy, and intimacy with God that their hearts long for?

We all suffer from a sense of spiritual homelessness–a feeling that we’re not fully at home in the world. To cope with our painful feelings and life traumas, we search for quick “fixes” that eventually become habitual, self-dest…

Critics Review

’ … a spiritually rich and accessible guide for anyone struggling with addiction, regardless of their faith background… . Cron’s writing stands out for its balance of spirituality and humor, making the book approachable for both believers and agnostics.’ * Booklist *I can think of no one who better understands people than Ian Cron. This book may be his most personal and his most pointed yet. Whether you have grappled with any kind of addiction, you love someone who does, or you just want to change something about your life, this is the book for you. Just picking up this book might be the half step you need in the right new direction. * Russell Moore, editor in chief, Christianity Today *I feel compelled to tell you as a longtime endorser not just of Ian Cron’s books but of Ian himself, The Fix should come with a warning label. This is not an inconsequential book. It will change your life immeasurably for the better–but only after first laying it bare. There’s nowhere to hide here. Doesn’t that sound, at least a little bit, like a relief? * Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love podcast *Ian Cron’s generous and hard-earned wisdom reveals that the Twelve Steps are not just for alcoholics and addicts, but a path to a profound transformation of self for everyone. His guidance is practical and profound, offering a compassionate and joyful approach to recovery for all of us. Get The Fix, and you will get yourself back–with a newfound freedom to love and be loved by God and others. * Fr. Richard Rohr O.F.M. *With The Fix comes a herald who pulls the curtain back on what we all sense in the deep: that we are people of insatiable longing, that our longing is often brutally and fathomlessly entangled with our pain, and that as a result, we are all addicts. But our author and guide does not leave us there. With the balm of humor that is required if we are to face the bracing reality of our lives as revealed on these pages and with a compelling vulnerability that never seeks its own notoriety, Ian Cron invites us all to come home. And home is where I want to be. Read this book, and begin to find your way there. * Curt Thompson, MD, psychiatrist and author of The Soul of Desire and The Deepest Place *
