Reviews:
- "This book changed my views on sponsorship and recovery as a whole. I genuinely believe this book will become for step 12 what Drop the Rock has become for 6&7. Gary's story is incredible as well". - Andrew L.
"A wonderful testament and inspirational work on the power of the steps and paying it forward in recovery. Thank you Gary for such an important contribution to the cause. I highly recommend this book." - Brian Cuban
- "Thank you, Gary K. As a mother of a recovering heroine addict, I've ridden that emotional roller coaster of enabling, desperate to control, to fix, to save my son... Through the 12 steps of Families Anonymous, I found my own salvation and serenity, allowing my son the dignity to choose his own path. Gary K's recounting of his spiral down that slippery slope of addiction and the sharing of his own story is the ultimate 12th Step and a gracious gift for all of us. One day at a time..." - Krista L.
- "This book will certainly give you the help to do the work . "a program of action" says Gary . He is spot on! great read, Wonderfully written and truly from the heart from a man who's been thru the rings of fire and hell." - Paul C.
- "I have been in recovery for over 25 years and have worked Step 12 many times, but Walk the Talk with Step 12 put it all into perspective and reminded me why I do what I do. I loved the history of AA at the beginning of the book and to know where Step 12 came from. Thank you Gary for sharing your story and reminding me what AA and Step 12 are all about. I hope this book makes it into the hands of many sponsors to share with their sponsee's and into many groups as a guide on the importance of living and working Step 12." - Suzanne L.
"I try and live a life of service. This book helped to affirm that doing the next right thing while trudging this road makes for happy days!
Thanks to Bill W and Dr Bob for starting this crazy train. Thank you to Gary K for sharing your E, S & H. Your share and insight were invaluable. I'm so glad I was able to read this book. I recommend it for anyone in or out of recovery" - Jody K

“Nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail. This is our twelfth suggestion: Carry this message to other alcoholics! You can help when no one else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail.”...
