My advice for anyone getting ready to start their fourth step and going into their fifth step is to take it slow and make it as thorough as possible. It was better to go deep, to be thorough with it, than to risk having to go back again to it later or being unable to continue on with the steps, having not completed them thoroughly or, even worse, risking holding on to them and eventually drinking or using again.
Ever wondered what it's like to dig deep into your fears and resentments? Steve Bennet-Martin shares his personal experience of completing Steps 4 and 5 of his twelve-step program in this episode of 'gAy A'. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Steve opens up about how his sexuality and gender identity influenced his addiction and recovery journey.
He talks about the daunting yet rewarding process of sharing intimate details with a sponsor, emphasizing the importance of having a trustworthy and unbiased guide. Steve’s reflections highlight the significance of taking it slow and being thorough to avoid having to repeat steps or risk relapse. By identifying his fears and resentments, he has gained a better understanding of himself, paving the way for a happier and healthier life.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery, resilience, and the unique challenges faced by those in the LGBTQ+ community on their path to sobriety.
