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

WhenDrop the Rock: Removing Character Defectswas first published in 1999, it quickly became the standard resource for working Steps 6 and 7, two of the most challenging of the Twelve Steps for many people in recovery. Learning what it means to fully surrender character defects frees you to make amends with Steps 8 and 9, realize the Big Book’s “Promises,” and move on to Step 10.

In this new follow-up resource, Fred H. explores what he calls “the ripple effect” that can be created by using Step 10 to practice Steps 6 and 7 every day and avoid picking up “the rock” again. Drawing on his years of lecturing on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous andTwelve Steps and Twelve Traditions,he reveals Step 10 as the natural culmination of working the previous Steps.Fred H. has been in recovery for more than 40 years. He is a popular international speaker on the Big Book and the principles of the Twelve Steps.
