NA Step Working Guides edition by Narcotics Anonymous Fellowship Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
This book literally saved my life. I give the paperback edition 5 stars, but the kindle edition which I recently purchased and am writing this review for, I give only 4 stars. Despite the other customer's review stating that some passages were missing, I went ahead and bought a copy anyway. Unfortunately, that customer was correct.I sat and compared the paperback with the kindle edition page by page, line by line, hoping that person was wrong. Sure enough, there are 4 entire paragraphs missing from Step One under the Spiritual Principles sub chapter. Lesson learned -- take suggestions! However, for the addict who may only find the kindle edition and not have access to a paperback, I've included those missing paragraphs below.
While I do believe those 4 missing paragraphs from Step One are important and invaluable, the rest of the book does in fact match the paperback verbatim. I compared every single paragraph and question from Step One through Step Twelve. Nevertheless, those missing paragraphs which specifically address the spiritual principles of the First Step would make it difficult for me to recommend the kindle edition in its current state, so I hope NAWS reads these reviews and fixes this ASAP.
Aside from the errors, the kindle edition is AMAZING! So much easier to read from my Kindle Voyage than the large and cumbersome paperback. I will definitely give it 5 stars when it's fixed.
The missing paragraphs, as promised:
Between questions 55 and 56 (paperback page 7, first paragraph): "Practicing the principle of open-mindedness found in Step One mostly involves being ready to believe that there might be another way to live and being willing to try that way. It doesn't matter that we can't see every detail of what that way might be, or that it may be totally unlike anything we've heard about before; what matters is that we don't limit ourselves or our thinking. Sometimes we may hear NA members saying things that sound totally crazy to us, things like "surrender to win" or suggestions to pray for someone we resent. We demonstrate open-mindedness when we don't reject these things without having tried them."
Between questions 57 and 58 (paperback page 7, second paragraph): "The principle of willingness contained in the First Step can be practiced in a variety of ways. When we first begin to think about recovery, many of us either don't really believe it's possible for us or just don't understand how it will work, but we go ahead with the First Step anyway--and that's our first experience with willingness. Taking any action that will help our recovery shows willingness: going to meetings early and staying late, helping set up meetings, getting other NA members' phone numbers and calling them."
Between questions 60 and 61 (paperback page 7, third paragraph): "The principle of humility, so central to the First Step, is expressed most purely in our surrender. Humility is most easily identified as an acceptance of who we truly are--neither worse nor better than we believed we were when we were using, just human."
Between questions 63 and 64 (paperback page 8, first paragraph): "To practice the principle of acceptance, we must do more than merely admit that we're addicts. When we accept our addiction, we feel a profound inner change that is underscored by a rising sense of hope. We also begin to feel a sense of peace. We come to terms with our addiction, with our recovery, and with the meaning those two realities will come to have in our lives. We don't dread a future of meeting attendance, sponsor contact, and step work; instead, we begin to see recovery as a precious gift, and the work connected with it as no more trouble than other routines in life."

NA Step Working Guides edition by Narcotics Anonymous Fellowship Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Missing a part of the first chapter, but excellent book. Working steps is life changing.
Easy Breezy!
Great edition! The book is exactly like the print copy and works perfectly. Itis a big help for those of us with visual impairments. Good job NAWS!
Let's get to steppin!
A day at a time my perspective has changed.
I have even made some changes in the way I do things. Not perfect but getting better.
Very detailed and easy to follow along. It's great if you have read the NA basic text, however it does break apart each step and gives great detailed questions that help you to dig deeper then other step working material. If you are truly committed and want to do the steps and have them work for you, I sincerely recommend this step guide.
This book a product of the NAWS corporate culture. They made a show of soliciting fellowship input, then assembled it in a way outside enterprises (treatment facilities) wouldn't find offensive. Many of the questions are redundant and/or miss the mark entirely, though there are occasional nuggets of brilliance in the narratives. As examples, I like the differentiation of internal vs external unmanagability in the first step. and the description of the whirlwind of wreckage we spread in the wake of our unmanagability in the self-will section of step 3. I still use it with sponsees because addicts are funny critters. They want to feel uniquely special, but they don't want to miss out on what everybody else has, and Everybody else seems to have the SWG, so that's my "go to" with the first round of steps for most addicts. Besides, with 34 years of experience in recovery, I can fill in the gaps as needed. If they can get through all 12 steps here, I can set them on a traditions study before loosing them on the Sponsor/sponsee worksheets, or the Back to Basics guides. The only step working guide that existed when I got clean was the 1984 4th step guide. If we could get clean with a white book and a dictionary when I showed up in meetings, other addicts seeking recovery, who really want what we have to offer, can recover with the NA Step Working Guide.
