Bruce Brown came into his first twelve-step program in early 1993. Since then, he has attended at least ten different types of twelve-step programs. His recovery has involved meetings in fifteen states covering all regions of the US as well as online meetings. He has sponsored over twenty people and worked intensely with ten sponsors of his own. Bruce has spoken at many gatherings and served his twelve-step fellowships at local, regional, and national levels. As a result, his experience is broad enough to make generalizations about twelve-step programs that go beyond one type of fellowship or one region.
