So the growth that has come from doing the steps, looking at the character defects and even ones that have been there since my formative years and to move on from that is amazing and to improve dramatically.
Ever wondered why some of our worst habits are the hardest to let go? Patrick, a regular at the 10am Coorparoo daily reflections meeting, opens up about his struggle with character defects on the SoberQ podcast. He tackles the tough question: 'What defects of character did we hesitate to give up?' For Patrick, anger and irritability were deeply ingrained responses to fear and discomfort, habits formed early in life and hard to shake because they seemed to work for him.
Through the program and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, Patrick found a path to move beyond these destructive tendencies. His journey of personal growth is a testament to the power of the steps and the supportive community he found in AA. Patrick's story isn't just about overcoming anger; it's about the broader struggle many face in giving up behaviors that, while harmful, have become coping mechanisms.
His insights offer hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar issues on their own road to recovery.
