How to Destroy Your Life: A 12-Step Program

By Mark DeVilbiss

Want to destroy your life? It's easier than you think.

You don't need a master plan.

You just need to make the same bad choices long enough.

Become unteachable. Isolate yourself. Believe the world owes you something. Blame everyone else. Hide what you're doing. Feed your bitterness. Protect your pride. Control everything. Numb yourself with addiction. Stay distracted.

Repeat as necessary.

How to Destroy Your Life: A 12-Step Program is not another gentle self-help book filled with comfortable advice.

It is a warning. A reality check. And, at times, a verbal two-by-four.

Using biting satire, brutal honesty, personal stories, biblical wisdom, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Mark David DeVilbiss exposes twelve patterns capable of slowly dismantling a life from the inside out.

The book begins by showing you exactly how destruction happens-then turns the entire formula upside down.

Because the real purpose of these twelve steps is not to teach you how to destroy your life.

It is to help you recognize the lies that may already be destroying it.

Inside, you'll confront:

- Unteachableness
- Isolation
- Entitlement
- Helplessness
- Codependency
- Secrecy
- Fake Religion
- Bitterness
- Pride
- Control
- Addiction
- Distraction

And then comes The 13th Step.

This book does not pretend consequences aren't real. It does not excuse destructive behavior or offer another reason to blame your childhood, your circumstances, other people-or God.

But neither does it leave you buried beneath condemnation.

Behind the sarcasm is grace.

Behind the confrontation is hope.

And behind every hard truth is the conviction that your story does not have to end where your choices have taken you.

If your life is beginning to come apart-or if you love someone whose life is-this book may make you angry.

It may make you laugh.

It may make you uncomfortable.

Good.

Because sometimes the truth that irritates us most is the truth we desperately need to hear.

The truth will set you free.

But first, it may make you miserable.
