Item description from seller

Hardcover. A Classicist and long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous explores how Roman Stoicism can illuminate and strengthen the practices of 12-step recovery. Drawing on years of teaching ancient philosophy and more than a decade of lived sobriety, Michael Mascio offers a deeply informed, accessible account of why Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius speak powerfully to contemporary recovery. Roman Stoicism, he argues, is fundamentally therapeutica philosophy explicitly crafted to transform character, regulate emotion, and cultivate a resilient inner life. Its pragmatic emphasis on habit-formation, disciplined self-examination, and psychological reframing aligns strikingly with the spiritual change the 12 steps demand.For those alienated by the religious language of Alcoholics Anonymous, Stoicism provides an intellectually rigorous yet non-dogmatic conception of a higher power rooted in nature, rationality, and universal order. This perspective enables atheists, agnostics, and spiritual seekers to engage meaningfully with recovery principles without the burden of inherited theology. The book also highlights the digestible, contemplative style of Roman Stoic writings, making them ideal companions to daily recovery meditation practices.At a moment when Stoicism enjoys renewed cultural visibilityfrom popular self-help adaptations to serious philosophical revivalsthis work offers the first sustained account of Stoicism as a resource for the recovering addict. Each chapter pairs one major Stoic figure with a dimension of recovery life, guiding readers through emotional regulation, higher-power conceptions, daily living, role modeling, and the disciplined reshaping of the self. Combining textual insight, lived experience, and practical guidance, the book invites people in recovery, clinicians, philosophers, and general seekers into a dialogue between two traditions devoted to inner freedom, clarity, and transformation. Stoic wisdom as a powerful resource for the spiritual journey of 12-step recovery--an alternative to religion- or faith-based alternatives.
