That We Are Here: 12 Steps towards Recovery
No. 42 JANUARY 2020
«That We Are Here» is a look at the reality that exists on the margins of everyday life – addiction recovery groups in Portugal. Originating in the US in the 1930s, Alcoholics Anonymous, founded by Bill Wilson, became the model and paradigm of 12-step groups, which for more than 80 years have used a spiritual programme to help those who cannot do it alone to recover. From interviews, experiences, literature and in-depth research into the intricacies of addiction, João Tordo builds a true and touching picture of the problem of dependence, the solution to it and the empathy and compassion that go hand in hand with a new way of life.
