Step 5 | Step Study Continued

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this episode of SOBER: The Podcast, Bradley Saxon and C.J. Carlton continue their exploration of the 12-step programme, focusing on Step 5. They tackle the misconception that the fifth step is just about unloading past wrongs. Instead, they argue it's about gaining a deeper understanding of one's character defects and building a new relationship with God.

Saxon and Carlton share their personal experiences, highlighting how Step 5 has been pivotal in their recovery journeys. They discuss the importance of admitting one's flaws not just to oneself or God, but also to another person—often a sponsor. This act of humility, they suggest, is essential for true healing and growth. The duo also addresses the broader themes of self-awareness and spiritual connection.

They emphasise that sobriety isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about transforming one's mindset and fostering a new attitude towards life. With candid anecdotes and relatable humour, they make a compelling case for why understanding and admitting one's defects can be liberating. Listeners are left with a powerful message: recovery is as much about self-discovery as it is about finding a higher power.
