The author, Buddy C., experienced this disconnect. After years of relapse, despair, and searching, he discovered something unexpected: the Tao Te Ching. This ancient Taoist text, written over 2,500 years ago by Lao Tzu, became a spiritual lifeline.Buddy discovered that the real issue was his inability to surrender, not his beliefsor lack thereof. He also realized that the Tao is how God, or Love, operates in the world, including in his own life. As long as his spiritual foundation is rooted in Love, there is no need to alter his beliefs. The Tao Te Ching complemented his Christianity and 12-Step Recovery rather than conflicting with either. There was no need to adopt a new religion or abandon lifelong beliefs. This book is the result of his journey.Powerless But NOT Helpless is Buddys interpretation of the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching, which is written specifically for those in Recovery. Each verse provides a reflection grounded in AA wisdom, focusing on surrender and developing a spiritual foundation of Compassion in daily life.??

For many in recovery, traditional views of a Higher Power do not resonate. This dissonance left author Buddy C. feeling hopeless. As a result, Buddy entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for over six years.If you are reading this, you, or someone you love, is probably dealing with a life-controlling addiction even though they have tried to break free. Buddy wrestled with the same dilemma. Buddy tried the twelve-step recovery process but found surrendering to a power greater than ourselves undefinable and even unattainable. Others shared his challenge of finding a God of our understanding as well. Like himself, they were sincere people searching for relief but did not fit within the common solution of AA.Searching the worlds religions for answers, Buddy discovered a healing way of life that connected with his needs. The revealed Taoist philosophies were not only close to other principles he had learned in recovery, but resonated with his experience growing up as a Christian attending church in the south. The Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu, opened a path to his recovery that traditional methods had not been able to do. Once Buddy utilized these principles, he discovered that when applied daily, Taoism also opened a path that healed other aspects of his life.What is this pathway? Who is Lao Tzu? How does Taoist philosophy describe a higher power?
