Publisher's summary

A practical guide to letting go of the character defects that get in the way of true and joyful recovery.

Resentment. Fear. Self-pity. Intolerance. Anger. As Bill P. explains, these are the "rocks" that can sink recovery - or at the least, block further progress. Based on the principles behind "Steps Six and Seven", Drop the Rock combines personal stories, practical advice, and powerful insights to help listeners move forward in recovery. The second edition features additional stories and a reference section.

Great listen while working on Steps 6 and 7

Used as a supplement material when working through the big book and step work in AA.
Drop the rock provides real anecdotes that help you call yourself out and recognize those character defects. Always a good listen in the background if you just need something to keep your mind right.
Narrator wasn’t really my cup of tea, but it’s not too hard to get through.

5 star content but did AI read this?

Probably my character defect of “intolerance” speaking here, but this reading feels AI generated. The pauses are weird, the breaks in sentences… it has to be an AI generated audio.

Our defects… many times…. … are our best friends.

Like, so AI generated. lol. Oh well, the words are still meaningful and helpful. I’m 199 days sober today so I have a lifetime of holding onto my character defects and my “intolerance” is one of my best old friends, who was introduced to me by my father.

Time to change.

Please re-cut the audio with pauses at the end of sections.

Dear editor, please listen to the audiobook you edited. At the end of every section, the speaker is abruptly cut off at the last millisecond and the first sentence of the next section begins. If you listen, you’ll see what I mean. Thanks for considering my request.

Narration was off and strange at times

The narration was off, sometimes he repeated lines and it didn’t feel like that was on purpose. And sometimes it seemed artificial or robotic because it lacked the natural rhythm/cadence, but I think this book says it was narrated by a human so that seemed weird. Maybe it was edited by a bot?
