Step 4: Confronting the Past in Addiction Recovery

Facing the reality of our actions...we have to be willing to get brutally honest with ourselves before we can even begin to get better.

Step 4 is all about making a fearless moral inventory of ourselves, and it's where many people find themselves stuck. But why is it so challenging?
Robert explains that this step requires us to take a hard look at who we really are and face the consequences of our actions. He shares his own struggles with this step, including the dread of listing his defects and how his sponsor's advice to summarize each situation by identifying who got hurt helped him confront his past. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the fear of facing their own demons.
Robert emphasizes that while recognizing the harm we've caused is tough, it's a crucial part of moving forward in recovery. His personal anecdotes and practical advice make this episode both relatable and enlightening. If you're ready to start your journey towards healing, tune in and find out how confronting your past can pave the way for a brighter future.
