Great starting place for any 12 step program

If you haven't done a 12 step program before, this is truly the best first step. It will help you decide if you are powerless regarding your addiction. It helps you realize how bad it has become and how much the addiction affects your life. Buy it and start your best first step!

Excellent Resource to Gain Focus & Clarity

This book is an excellent tool to dig deep into the roots of powerlessness and unmanageability. If one takes the time to really address the questions in depth and with rigorous honesty it provides an excellent foundation for solid recovery. Questions presented thoughtfully probe all the tentacles of addiction, and I have found that my written responses serve as a solid reminder of the wide ranging long term effects of unchecked addiction on quality of life. If you are willing to be fearless and thorough, and ready to go to any length to recover, this is the resource for you.

The Best First Step Book

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I used this workbook almost 7 years ago and it has been my requirement of all my sponsees to pick up this book and use it as a strong foundation. Goes deeper then any other step book around. If you use this book correctly it helps you with your 4th and 8th steps too.
