First Step worksheets or exercises?
Hey, there:
I'm looking to hook up my young friend with a 1st step worksheet or writing exercise. Anyone have any online sources?

Yup. 
I've got a suggestion on what I feel is the ultimate premier step working guide:
The Narcotics Anonymous Step Working Guides, Softcover, 124 pages
Hazelden -- The Narcotics Anonymous Step Working Guides
This workbook presents questions to the reader in an introspective manner. This workbook is solid gold for a sponsor because it encourages the sponsee to really work the steps. I swear by its effectiveness and at $8 its a steal.
I buy the books and give them to newcomers I feel will use it.

Hey Bear, good on you.
I can provide you with the links to a few different options. The first is a step guide that was available well before the NAWS approved versions were published. The second is another tried and tested guide to the first three steps called the Allentown Guide. It might be the most Spartan of the options, and it doesn't include the process for all 12 steps, but I have a trusted friend with 18 years clean who highly recommends it as a guide that sticks most stringently to the core meaning of the steps. The third is NAWS approved.

Although we're working an AA program, his primary DOC was opiates, so NAWS step guides will help! Thanks everyone!

I'd still recomend the NA step guide. It doesn't cost that much and is available at most meetings or I'm sure you can find it online for under 10 bucks. It is a nice booklet and really helps work the steps. You can probably find it on Amazon for even less. Take care.
