The Twelve-Step Suite, also known as the Alcoholics Anonymous Suite is a series of songs by progressive metal band Dream Theater. Each song, written by drummer Mike Portnoy, deals with his experience of alcoholism in some form, and each represent a certain number of the Twelve Steps. The songs feature a number of recurring musical and lyrical themes, and all of them (except for "Repentance") are among Dream Theater's loudest and heaviest. Gathering all songs, the suite reaches a total of 57:16 minutes. All of the steps start with the letters "Re", a reference to the word "rehab". Mike Portnoy stated in an interview on the Eddie Trunk show on March 16 that he prefers to call it the "Twelve-step Suite" or "Twelve-step Saga" rather than "AA Suite". The band also plans to release all of the songs together on a future live album. All songs are dedicated to "Bill W. and his friends".
