(via SDA) An introduction to and description of the 13 steps of Liberals Anonymous. Each LibAnon member uses these 13 Steps in an individual way, and so, unfortunately, results cannot be guaranteed. However, the principles are highly recommended as a program of recovery for even the most egregiously opinionated but uninformed, as well as for [...]
