The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments
A Catholic Journey Through Recovery
Author: Scott Weeman
✝️ About the Book
In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Scott Weeman bridges the timeless spiritual wisdom of the Twelve Steps with the deep grace of Catholic sacramental life. As both a person in long-term recovery and the founder of Catholic in Recovery, Weeman brings personal authenticity and pastoral compassion to those who seek freedom from addiction while remaining rooted in their faith.
This groundbreaking book — winner of the 2018 Catholic Press Association Award (Second Place, Sacraments category) — reveals how the sacraments of the Church mirror and strengthen each of the Twelve Steps, providing a complete path toward healing, surrender, and lasting spiritual renewal.
Through personal stories, reflections, and practical guidance, Weeman shows how God’s grace flows through both recovery and Catholic tradition, uniting the two into one seamless journey toward wholeness.
🌿 What You’ll Discover
Weeman shows how each sacrament parallels a Step, creating a powerful spiritual synergy between recovery and faith:
- Baptism — Embracing Step One’s surrender and admitting powerlessness, beginning a new life in grace.
- Reconciliation — Aligning with Steps Four through Ten, finding the courage for self-examination, confession, and amends.
- Eucharist — Providing daily sustenance for ongoing recovery and communion with God’s healing presence.
- Confirmation — Strengthening the resolve to share one’s experience, strength, and hope with others.
- Marriage, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick — Deepening commitment to service, community, and spiritual renewal.
Each chapter pairs theological reflection with lived experience, helping readers experience both the humility of recovery and the transforming power of the sacraments.
