In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll dive into a panel discussion from a 12 Step Workshop by the New Freedom group in 2013, focusing on Steps 4 through 7. These steps are pivotal in the journey of Alcoholics Anonymous, addressing the core of personal inventory and the path to character transformation.

Duncan opens up about his initial fears and misconceptions about sobriety, expecting misery but finding happiness instead. He shares his journey through multiple fifth steps and the importance of being thorough and honest.
Barb recounts her struggle with resentment and the realisation that her inventory was more about others than herself initially. She emphasises the importance of daily practice and staying honest with oneself and others. Winslow brings a raw perspective on humility and the continuous surrender required in Steps 6 and 7. His anecdotes about facing his character defects head-on are both humorous and poignant.

The speakers' candidness and willingness to share their struggles make this a must-listen for those seeking genuine support and understanding. Tune in to hear how these steps have profoundly impacted their lives and how they continue to apply these principles daily.
