this book helped me walk through my fear of doing the fourth step and got me to finally finish it. Before I got this book I had been putting off the fourth step for about a year and a half and once I got this book and used it as a outline I was able to finish my fourth step withing a month. Needless to say, I feel a lot better, no longer feel the urge to drink and my relationship with my sponsor has become so much deeper.

This review is from: Fourth Step Guide: Journey Into Growth (Paperback)

I'm a recovered drug addict that went through 12-step programs and feel that without them, I would still be drunk and high on cocaine. I'm also an author and someone that did not continue to go to AA meetings, nor am I convinced that I had a physical disease and that one drink would take me back to where I was when I got there.

All that having been said, this is a solid and proven discussion about 4th-step work. The fourth step -- the one that tells the person doing the steps to perform a "Searching and fearless moral inventory of themselves" is truly on of the four 'critical' steps in the collection of 12. There are a lot of people who could stand to do a moral inventory that don't drink, don't do drugs, and have never been arrested. They could still use this book.
