Unlocking the Power of Honesty: Sammy's Fourth Step Journey

When I finally was able to do a thorough fourth and fifth step, I just felt really empty and I didn't know what to do with that, you know.
Honesty can be a tough pill to swallow, but for Sammy, it was the key to her recovery. In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, Sammy opens up about her struggles and triumphs with the Fourth Step of Alcoholics Anonymous. She talks about the initial difficulty she faced in being honest with herself and others, and how embracing honesty ultimately transformed her journey to sobriety. But that's not all.
Hosts Don and Sam also dive into the AA Armed Services Interview Project, shedding light on how it supports military members in their recovery journeys. And for a nostalgic touch, Sister Ignatia shares heartwarming memories of working alongside Dr. Bob in Akron. This episode is packed with valuable insights, from attending AA meetings abroad to bringing the AA message into jails and prisons.
Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Sammy's story and the broader discussions in this episode offer a treasure trove of inspiration and practical advice.
