Facing Ourselves: Shelly's Deep Dive into Moral Inventory

We must go on for as long as I remain blind to the flaws which create so much trouble for me, I must go on Day after day trying to face myself as I am and to correct whatever is keeping me from growing into the person I want to be.
Ever wondered how self-reflection can be a powerful tool in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Hearts: A Parent's Path Through a Child's Addiction', Shelly Summers wraps up her series on the Searching and Fearless Moral Inventory.

She candidly shares her personal journey, touching on how she strives to be less self-centered and more helpful to others.
Shelly opens up about the pain of being ghosted and unfriended, and the ongoing challenge of balancing her needs with those of others. She emphasizes the importance of listening attentively and the cruelty of indifference. Shelly also discusses how she avoids using substances to relax and the significance of humility and accepting life's uncertainties without fear. Wrapping up, she highlights the value of gratitude towards a higher power and using one's abilities in service to others.
