Joe McQ has been a student of the Twelve Steps for twenty-eight years.  He, like tens of thousands of others, lives them every day, one day at a time. In The Steps We Took, Joe takes us through them, one Step at a time, and helps us understand how they work and how they can change our lives.
Joe also is known for his talks with “Charlie” in the famous, “Joe and Charlie Big Book Workshops” which are also available on this website for Alcoholics Anonymous and a special one for Overeaters Anonymous as well!

From Library Journal
“Any problem we see in our lives can be healed with the Steps,” says McQ.–referring to the popular addiction treatment program started by Alcoholics Anonymous. Executive Director of Serenity Park, a treatment center in Little Rock, Arkansas, McQ. has been a student and teacher of the Twelve Steps for 28 years. This book is based on interviews between him and Sally C. and Huey C., two “editors” not mentioned in the copyright. Whereas in most Twelve-Step programs, “God” can be anything a person wishes, McQ. views God as the Creator of the Universe and Giver of the Steps. Such simplistic proselytizing might work well from a podium or pulpit, but the reader demands either personal insight or practical help, and this book is sorely lacking in both. In addition, McQ.’s distinction between Us (those involved in recovery) and Them will alienate prospective readers who have not yet committed to a recovery program.
