The thing about fear is it will fucking steal your life away. Almost all of it boils down to fear of judgment from other people. The self-delusion is a piece that nobody really attunes into, because, as you're living as a selfish, self-centered alcoholic, you don't tune into the self-delusion, because the alcoholic life is the only normal one.
Ever feel like fear is the invisible hand pulling your strings? In this eye-opening episode of THEUDRCAST, host Bill Ward tackles the tough subject of fear and self-delusion in the recovery journey. Bill explains how fear can be a sneaky thief, robbing us of our potential and leading us down paths of self-destruction. He digs into Step 4 of the 12-Step Program, which calls for a fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
This isn't just about listing our wrongs; it's about understanding how fear shapes our actions and keeps us stuck in harmful patterns. Bill doesn't shy away from the hard truths. He points out that those struggling with addiction often see their behavior as normal, a kind of self-delusion that keeps them trapped. But Step 4 offers a way out.
By taking an honest look at ourselves, we can start to see the reality of our actions and the damage they've caused. It's a tough process, but it's also a transformative one. Bill emphasizes the role of a higher power in this journey. Whether you call it God, the universe, or something else, having a source of strength and guidance can make all the difference.
He shares personal anecdotes and stories from others who've walked this path, showing that facing your fears isn't just possible—it's life-changing. If you're wrestling with fear and self-delusion, this episode is a must-listen. Bill's compassionate yet no-nonsense approach provides a roadmap for anyone looking to break free from the chains of addiction and start living their best life.
