Step Four in the 12-Step process is where many addicts hit a wall. But why is it so daunting? In this episode of 'Doc Jacques: Your Addiction Lifeguard', Dr. Jacques de Broekert breaks down the reasons behind the fear of making a moral inventory. He dives into the complexities of facing one's character flaws and taking responsibility for past actions.
This isn't just about listing mistakes; it's about understanding how childhood trauma can shape addictive behaviors and how making amends can pave the way for healing.

Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and a compassionate perspective on tackling Step Four head-on.
