The Book
“DIG DEEP IN ONE PLACE,
A Couple’s Journey Through the Twelve Steps”
Bill and Sandy Fifield excelled as artists yet lived an unsustainable existence due to addiction, alcoholism and co-dependence. Eventually, they found another way. Through recovery in a Twelve Step program, they stayed together and continued to grow artistically and spiritually. Dig Deep in One Place is their candid, very personal story. Told both individually and jointly it serves as an example of a journey through highs and lows, love and pain, that ultimately leads to happy, joyous freedom. This book is a gift to anyone searching for a way out of the darkness.
While their book is not intended to tell anyone how to do this or give specific instructions on how to work the Twelve Steps, Bill and Sandy present their experience with the desire that it will bring hope and strength to all who read it.
Dig Deep in One Place is presented in the format of a Twelve Step Fellowship speaker meeting where an individual tells his or her story using the format: What it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now. This is the traditional means of communication among members of Twelve Step fellowships of any kind to address the myriad difficulties that the human mind can dream up.
There are over 250 mutual help groups using the Twelve Steps as a practical method for recovery from any type of obsessive-compulsive behavior such as alcoholism and drug addiction, overeating or under eating, or workaholism. This can encompass all phases of the spiritual disease of fear, which afflicts all humans and is manifested in hundreds of different ways.
Dig Deep in One Place shows how anyone can apply this very powerful tool to create a more peaceful, rewarding life. The truth is the Twelve Steps are not self-help but rather helpfulness to others, and that one shift in perspective makes all the difference!
