The Fix workbook is a powerful and faith-centered guide to recovery, emphasizing the importance of putting God at the center of the healing process. As a companion to the book The Fix, this workbook dives deeper into practical steps for overcoming addiction while relying on faith, community, and personal reflection.
What I loved most was how it reinforced the idea that true recovery isn’t just about breaking free from addiction—it’s about transformation. Through scripture, guided exercises, and thought-provoking questions, this workbook helps individuals not only work through their struggles but also build a stronger relationship with God in the process.
The emphasis on community is another highlight. Recovery is never meant to be walked alone, and this workbook encourages connection with others for accountability, encouragement, and support. Whether you’re going through recovery yourself or walking alongside someone who is, The Fix workbook is an invaluable resource for deepening faith and finding lasting healing. Highly recommend!

The Fix takes a fresh, often even humorous take on the 12 Steps and how such an approach can radically transform lives beyond the confines we so often place them into (i.e. alcohol and substance addictions). This workbook gives a practical application of the information, demanding self-reflection and evaluation of oneself and one’s relationship with God. Such a valuable tool for growth. Thank you HarperChristian Resources and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

This is the companion workbook to Cron's The Fix, which takes you through the 12 steps used in AA. I appreciate that Cron recognizes that these steps are helpful tools for everyone, not just those in AA, and highly recommend both books.

**Please note; I received this workbook as an ARC. While I appreciate the kindness and generosity, it in no way affects my review.
***Note #2: I do not own, nor have I read the companion book, the Fix. (yet...)
Upon receiving this book as a PDF file ARC, I immediately realized I will need to order the Fix & and the Workbook.
I have heard Crons name over the years, as someone who found a lot of interested in the Ennegram topic.
However, I had never heard of his struggles. And, I admire when a public figure can be bold and share what they have been through---and then share about their recovery---even though they could always potentially relapse.
However, Cron is bold & authentic and asks hard, insightful questions in the Fix Workbook.
But, let's back up just a bit.
I will say the one thing that kind of threw me is that essentially the Fix Workbook (and I'm assuming the Fix are based on 12 Steps programs. As a fellow author, it felt like some of the content from the workbook could have easily come straight from AA or NA meetings. HOWEVER---I do think that having a Workbook assembled like this is wonderful, and having something like this assembled in a faith background you are comfortable with makes a big difference too.
But---that was not a huge turn off for me. See---I have gone to Celebrate Recovery (CR) for a couple of years, and my husband has gone for nearly a decade. CR is kind of like a 12 step program that expands to meet many addictions/issues as well---so I could really appreciate how the Fix Workbook was really meeting the needs of many.
I do think it will take a special kind of person to really sit down and work through these questions. They are NOT easy. They will take a lot of work, accountability and support. A LOT. They are not just "gloss over it questions" so I am hoping that people plan on mentoring & allowing ample time.
After all that has been said---I really can forsee the Fix Workbook being a guide to helping people put into practice what they are learning at a 12 step program (or what they would if they were going!). This is POWERFUL material ---if you do the work! The Fix gives people the tools to do the work. It is not a book I would recommend to everyone, but for the right people, I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
