Ever wondered how to tackle those pesky emotions like selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear? Kylie W dives into these very topics, sharing her journey of sobriety since 2011. With a relatable and honest approach, she talks about the challenges she faced when alcohol was her go-to solution for life's difficulties. Kylie explains how the tools provided by Alcoholics Anonymous helped her confront these emotions head-on.
Through the process of the fourth and fifth steps, she gained clarity on her own character flaws and learned how to manage them. Kylie’s anecdotes reveal the subtle ways dishonesty can creep into everyday life, like the temptation to cheat at the supermarket checkout. Her candid stories highlight the importance of honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. She emphasises that being honest doesn’t mean being perfect, but rather owning up to mistakes and finding solutions.
Selfishness, according to Kylie, is best countered by serving others—whether in the fellowship, at work, or with family. This episode is packed with practical advice on maintaining a grateful attitude to fend off resentment and recognising fear as a lack of faith. Kylie's spiritual practices, such as morning meditation and gratitude lists, are simple yet effective strategies for keeping those negative emotions at bay.

Kylie's story is a reminder that while the journey may be tough, it's also rewarding. So, why not take a listen and see how her experiences might inspire your own path to recovery?
