Why Substance-Specific Matters
One Size Doesn't Fit All
The Twelve Steps work for all addictions—the principles are universal. But the experience of addiction varies dramatically between substances. The paranoia of cocaine psychosis is different from ketamine’s K-hole. The financial destruction of gambling differs from the physical deterioration of alcoholism.
When we can’t see ourselves in recovery literature, we think we’re different. Special. Beyond help. We need to identify to recover, and identification requires specificity.
That’s why we’ve created individual guides for individual addictions.
Each guide maintains the same Twelve Step framework while addressing:
- The specific progression of that addiction
- Unique challenges in early recovery
- Particular patterns and behaviours
- Substance-specific consequences
- Relevant promises of recovery

For Those Who Know the Lies Cocaine Tells
“Just one line. You can control it this time. Tomorrow will be different.”
If you’ve believed these lies, this guide is for you. Written by people who’ve chased that first high through nights that turned into days, through paranoia that made enemies of shadows, through promises that turned to powder.
What’s Inside:

- Why the "one more" becomes "until it's gone"
- Dealing with paranoia and psychosis in recovery
- Understanding the crash and emotional aftermath
- Working the Steps when your drug was confidence itself
- Stories from crack, powder, and freebase recovery
Who This Helps:
- Anyone struggling with cocaine in any form
- Those who've relapsed after periods of control
- People who can't relate to "drinking" examples
- Sponsors working with cocaine addicts
- Families trying to understand stimulant addiction
Ketamine Edition
Coming: March 2026
For Those Lost in the K-Hole
"It's not physically addictive. It's therapeutic. I'm different from other drug users."
Ketamine addiction is one of the most under-resourced areas in recovery. Traditional literature barely mentions dissociatives. Support groups are rare. Understanding is limited. You’ve felt alone in rooms full of recovering addicts because no one seems to understand the specific hell of ketamine dependency.
This guide changes that.
What’s Inside:
- The progression from therapeutic to daily use
- Understanding dissociation and depersonalisation
- Navigating bladder damage and physical recovery
- Working the Steps when reality itself became negotiable
- Dealing with the unique depression of ketamine withdrawal
- Stories from those who've escaped the K-hole
Who This Helps:
- Anyone struggling with ketamine abuse
- Those who started with therapeutic or recreational use
- People dealing with physical consequences
- Sponsors unfamiliar with dissociative addiction
- Medical professionals seeing rising ketamine dependency
Why This Guide Is Critical: Ketamine addiction is rising rapidly, especially among young people, yet it remains largely invisible in recovery literature. This is the first comprehensive Twelve Step guide specifically for ketamine addiction.
Family Edition
Coming: March 2026
For Those Who Love Someone in Active Addiction
"If I just love them enough, they'll stop. If I'm tough enough, they'll stop. If I say the right thing, they'll stop."
You’ve tried everything. Love, tough love, interventions, boundaries, pleading, threatening, enabling, not enabling. Nothing works. You’re exhausted, heartbroken, and don’t recognise the person you’ve become.
This guide is your recovery.
What’s Inside:
- Understanding addiction as a family disease
- Setting boundaries that actually stick
- When helping becomes enabling
- Protecting other family members
- Financial boundaries and legal considerations
- Working your own Twelve Step programme
- Finding peace whether they recover or not
Who This Helps:
- Parents of adult children in addiction
- Partners and spouses
- Siblings and adult children of addicts
- Extended family members
- Anyone affected by another's addiction
Based On: Al-Anon and Nar-Anon wisdom, updated for modern families dealing with today’s substances and challenges.
