About the Author
Kathleen S., born in Santa Cruz and raised in Northern California, has been a sober AA/Alanon continuously since New Year's Eve, 1975. She is one of several founders of the international Adult Children of Alcoholics movement in the mid-80's. She also served on the National Council on Codependence, Inc., Board for two years. She has held paid and volunteer positions of trust working with California Mental Health Rehabilitation and Retraining efforts, with faith-based outreaches and with Native People. Philosophically, she brings a William James-type pragmatism to bear on the Steps: "The spiritual life is not a theory. We have to live it!" sums up her understanding of life on life's terms. However, she's also a practitioner of Oriental Taoism, which she came to through math/set theory, in 1965. Thus, a practical holism lends grace and flexibility to her vision as we anchor the power of honesty and mindfulness, in the care the God of our understanding: The conscious person's guide to living the Steps!
