We must be exact. We want to tell the simple truth, cut and dry, as quickly as possible. There is always a danger that we aggravate our wrongs. It is equally dangerous to minimize our rationalization, our part in this past situation.
Imagine having to face the hardest truths about yourself and then share them with another person. In this episode of 'Addiction Recovery - Living The Program', Roy Nichols takes us through the intense journey of Step 5 in addiction recovery. This step isn't just about admitting your wrongs; it's about finding the courage to be brutally honest with yourself, God, and another human being.
Roy explains how this crucial step can feel like a matter of life and death, emphasizing the necessity of honesty and thoroughness. He also touches on the deep-seated shame and guilt that often accompany this process, offering insights into choosing the right person to hear your confessions. Roy doesn't shy away from sharing his own struggles with low self-esteem and how Step 5 played a pivotal role in overcoming it.
He describes the spiritual awakening that followed and how practicing spiritual principles became a lifelong journey for him. This episode is a heartfelt and raw account of personal growth, spiritual awakening, and the transformative power of honesty in addiction recovery. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on navigating Step 5, this episode is a must-listen.
