Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects - Steps Six and Seven

Exceptional,well thought out,confirming to truth I hold as priceless. I recommend this to anyone seriously seeking recovery from addiction. Absolutely phenomenal.

I’ve been a member of AA for quite a while now. But I’ve never heard of drop the rock until recently. I attended a meeting for the first time, and I have to admit that I learned more in one meeting than I’ve had with an a decade of sobriety, attending other meetings. This book goes into the foundation of the 12 steps. It basically allow you to focus on some things that are still dragging you down. Consider like a rock around your neck! I was amazed after attending a couple of meetings I bought my own book so I could keep rereading it when I needed it. Extremely helpful. Especially with steps five and six.

Good book

Worth the price

Worth reading. Very good work.

This should be a required text for 6th & 7th Step work! This book is very user-friendly and easily comprehended by those who are new to recovery. I truly believe that the instructions contained within the "Big Book" are absolutely essential for recovery. However, I also find it is very deceptive in it's brief and concise explanation of the 6th & 7th steps... as if to suggest they don't need as much attention. Therefore, I have noticed that these two steps are often completed in the time it takes to read the two short paragraphs in the Big Book. Fortunately, there is more instruction and discussion in the "12 & 12", however, the language and metaphor are often quite challenging for those who are new to recovery. That's where this book comes to the rescue! This book walks you through the thought processes of recognizing, identifying and eliminating those defects of character or "shortcomings" which cause us to remain unhappy, unsatisfied and unsuccessful in life. This book provides a fresh and in-depth look at steps 6 & 7 in way that anyone can understand. I have found it to be effective in helping the newcomer to identify the underlying fears with cause the defects of character to activate, so that they may learn the skill of NOT "stepping on the toes of their fellows" and thus, create more harmony in their lives and relationships with others. I highly recommend this book as an essential supplement to the Big Book & 12 & 12 when working steps 6 & 7.

Ordered a clean copy since I’m going to soon be taking another through this book. I have found it to be a wonderful tool.They only reason why I knocked off a star from my rating was because it just occurred to me and then I picked up the package that it was never sealed properly. Luckily, the book itself was in its own plastic sleeve.

This book is about the 6th and the seventh step it has impacted and enhanced my spiritual growth in my 12-step walk through my life's journey
