Joe and Charlie\28 Harm

Ever wondered how to tackle the fourth step inventory with ease? In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Joe and Charlie break down the 'harm' section of the fourth step in a way that's both straightforward and surprisingly light-hearted. They dive into how to identify people you've hurt in ways that might not have come up on your resentment, fear, or sex sheets.

From stolen money to physical harm, they guide you through creating a comprehensive list and analysing it with honesty and clarity. Joe and Charlie emphasise that this process doesn't have to be daunting.

They ask thought-provoking questions like, 'Did we see anything here to be afraid of?' and 'Did we make a list of dirty, filthy, nasty items?' Their humour shines through as they joke about the placement of sex information on page 69 of the Big Book, adding a touch of levity to the serious work of recovery.

The hosts also highlight the importance of recognising your grosser handicaps—resentment, fear, guilt, and remorse—and how these are often rooted in selfishness, dishonesty, and inconsideration. They stress that you don't need to wait until you're perfect to tackle these issues; just getting started is a huge step forward. This episode is packed with practical advice and relatable anecdotes that make the fourth step feel less like a chore and more like an achievable goal.

Whether you're new to the twelve steps or a seasoned veteran, Joe and Charlie's insights will help you see the value in taking an honest inventory and moving forward in your recovery journey.
