Shortcomings

Shortcomings or Character Defects

People often wonder what shortcomings or character defects are. Are they the same thing? How do I know how to recognise them? What can I do about them. These are many of the questions I have heard in my long journey of recovery and are among the reasons for writing this book.

It is written with particular consideration for those embarking, or continuing to, work a programme of 12 Step Recovery.
