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

This a great read for those in recovery from all sorts. It is especially encouraging and enlightening for those pursuing the “steps” recovery process.

I'\nVe been reading this with my sponsor and the stories are short so basically , we can order food , read part of the book and has some super cool insight.

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.

Love this book!

If you are in recovery, this is a must read!! It will change how you heal, incorporate any 12 step program, grow and change behaviors to embrace living one of recovery and serenity.

I found it particularly helpful in thinking about the different areas of my life where old behaviors no longer serve me. useful both for beginners and oldtimers.

One of the best book for your 6th & 7th step of A.A. or CA

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.

Ich finde es ist ein sehr gutes Buch. Zum Glück hat die Lieferung bei weitem nicht solange gedauert wie zunächst angekündigt.

Very good read for persons who are going through life change

We all have a goodly store of characteristics and behaviors that we would be much happier with out. This is a guide to looking at those and a help to letting them go.

It is not terribly well written but it if you simply overlook that it is an excellent book to teach you how to change some habits and thinking processes that will give you greater peace and happiness. All in all I can not recommend it enough . DO the work in this book and things will change for the better. It is a wonderful tool.
