About this title

Synopsis

From the Introduction: "To become the person we can become, we must drop the rock - all the grasping and holding to old patterns of behavior, the thoughts and feelings that are harmful to our progress in recovery. Individuals in 12 Step programs soon realize that there is more involved in recovery than giving up the addiction, compulsion, or dependency. The Sixth and Seventh Steps help us let go of self-defeating behaviors such as resentment, fear, self-pity, intolerance, and anger. This book helps individuals understand why they hold on to the perceived comfort of their negative behaviors and outlines the willingness needed to give up defects that keep people "stuck" in recovery. These two steps are important in changing attitudes to permit recovering persons, with humility as a guide, to move out from themselves and toward others.
