In this follow-up to Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects, Fred H. explores ""the ripple effect"" that can be created by using Step 10 to practice Steps 6 and 7 every day to avoid picking up ""the rock""—also known as resentment, fear, and self-pity—again. Drawing on his years of lecturing on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Fred H. reveals Step 10 as the natural culmination of working the previous Steps, providing a crash course on renewing your recovery program through the daily practice of Twelve Step principles.

Drop the Rock-The Ripple Effect provides multiple perspectives from people successfully working a Twelve Step Program and shows Step 10 as a key to a sober life free of fear and resentment, and filled with serenity and gratitude.

Review:

This sequel to the original "Drop the Rock" is an important book because it extends the discussion of emotional sobriety in a very important wayit encourages us to be aware of ourselves and othershow all our behavior, positive or negative, creates a ripple effect. We cannot have emotional sobriety without an awareness of this fact. When we were in our active addiction we were unwilling to face this truth. If you are going to grow yourself in recovery this becomes an essential element.
