Bruce W. Hasenyager, [a Lifetime Mensa member] points out that Twelve Step programs are useful and effective for people with any type of codependency problems. [He] tells us that he wrote the first book, Bird Feet in Concrete, with the idea of one short (a page or less) meditation a day throughout the year, but he tells us that the book is useful read in any order. We can use it in any order that works for us. These meditations are quite personal. They feel like letters from a friend who cares. I think they'd be useful for anyone even if they were not part of [a 12 Step program].

Hasenyager wrote Bird Feet and the Twelve Steps as a supplement and even an introduction the first book. He writes, "I realized, however, that it assumed an awful lot about how readers understood the Twelve Steps and, more important, it assumed they probably understood the Steps and the program more-or-less the same way I do." This book gives us more information about his life and experience, so that we can better understand the Twelve Step program and make better use of the daily meditations.
