The 12-Step Program That Saves Relationships and Changes Lives
Are You Tired of Being Your Own Worst Enemy?
If you're here, you probably recognize yourself in one of these scenarios:
You keep having the same arguments with people you love, but nothing ever changes...
You've tried every self-help approach, read every relationship book, maybe even been to therapy, but you still feel stuck in the same destructive patterns...
You know you're capable of more, but something inside you keeps sabotaging your best intentions...
You're starting to wonder if YOU might be the common denominator in all your relationship problems...
The truth is: you probably are.
And that's the best news you'll hear all day.
"You Are Your Biggest Problem Today"
(And Why That's Actually Hope)
I'm Dr. Michael Smalley, and I spent 23 years convinced everyone else needed to change for my life to get better.
I was wrong.
My real problem wasn't my difficult circumstances or other people's behavior. My problem was my signature sins: passivity disguised as virtue, conflict avoidance masquerading as peacemaking, and a complete inability to take responsibility for my own emotional life.
At nearly 50 years old, I had to admit something humiliating: I had never done anything consistently for 90 straight days. Not brushing my teeth. Not taking a shower. Not even going to the bathroom.
My signature sins were destroying my relationships, and I didn't even know it.
What Are Signature Sins?
Signature sins aren't just the obvious addictions. They're any pattern of behavior that feels bigger than your willpower to control:
✗ Passivity (avoiding conflict instead of engaging honestly)
✗ People-pleasing (managing everyone's emotions except your own)
✗ Control (trying to manipulate outcomes through worry and micromanagement)
✗ Perfectionism (setting impossible standards to avoid vulnerability)
✗ Rage (using anger to control and intimidate others)
✗ Withdrawal (shutting down when things get difficult)
✗ Blame (making everyone else responsible for your happiness)
Here's the brutal truth: Your signature sin is probably disguised as something good. Mine was. For decades, I called my passivity "being like Jesus."
I was lying to myself.

Fair Warning: This Will Challenge Everything
This isn't comfortable work. You'll be asked to:
- Admit complete powerlessness over your signature sins
- Take a fearless moral inventory of your life
- Confess your failures to another person
- Make amends to people you've hurt
- Develop a daily spiritual practice
- Help others who are struggling with similar issues
If you're looking for an easy way out, this isn't it.
But if you want freedom—real, lasting, transformational freedom from the patterns that are killing your relationships—then you've found what you're looking for.
Who This Program Is For:
✓ People whose relationships keep falling into the same destructive patterns
✓ Anyone who suspects they might be their own worst enemy
✓ Those who have tried everything but still feel stuck
✓ People ready to take complete responsibility for their part in their problems
✓ Anyone willing to do whatever it takes to change their life
Who This Program Is NOT For:
✗ People looking for quick fixes or easy answers
✗ Those who want to focus on changing other people
✗ Anyone not ready to be brutally honest with themselves
✗ People who want someone else to do the work for them
The Question You Need to Answer
How long are you willing to keep trying to fix this on your own?
Your signature sins have been running your life long enough. They've cost you enough relationships, enough peace, enough joy.
It's time to fire them as the managers of your life and discover what real power looks like.
Start Your Rise Journey Today
Remember: Nothing changes if nothing changes.
You already know willpower isn't enough. You've proven that trying harder doesn't work. You've shown yourself and God that you're terrible at managing your own life.
Good. That means you're ready.
Ready to admit you need help. Ready to discover that admitting powerlessness is the beginning of real power. Ready to stop being your own worst enemy.
Your signature sin isn't your problem. Your belief that you can fix it yourself is your problem.
But there's hope. Real, lasting hope.
And it starts with one decision.
