About A Good First Step
A Good First Step is designed for people who are new to recovery or beginning to look more closely at Step One. The workbook format helps readers slow down, reflect, and write through important early recovery questions in a clear and supportive way.
Because this workbook is not limited to one specific fellowship, it can be useful in a variety of Twelve Step settings, including individual recovery work, sponsor and sponsee discussion, treatment center assignments, group study, and personal reflection.
Many readers use this workbook alongside the
Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book,
NA Basic Text,
and other
12 Step study materials
as they begin working through Step One.
