I drank for the first time because I was scared of other people.
In this episode of SoberQ, Taylor opens up about her journey through Step Six of recovery, focusing on identifying and letting go of character defects. Taylor candidly shares her experiences, from the fears that led her to drink as a teenager to the ongoing work she’s doing to overcome these ingrained behaviours. Her reflections are not just a list of faults but a deeper look at how fear has shaped her actions and relationships.
You'll find yourself nodding along as she talks about gossiping at work, judging others, and reacting out of jealousy and insecurity. But what lies beneath these actions? Fear. It's a familiar theme for many in recovery, as Taylor explains how fear drove her to drink and now challenges her sobriety. She recounts how alcohol initially helped her escape these fears but eventually became a crutch that masked her true feelings.
Taylor's honesty is both refreshing and relatable, especially when she discusses the hard work involved in changing these behaviours. Her approach involves recognising these defects in the moment and consciously choosing to act differently, even if it means physically stopping herself from speaking. It's not just about identifying these traits but actively working against them to connect with her higher power.
Taylor's story is a testament to the courage required to face one's fears head-on and the importance of continual self-improvement in recovery. Her insights might just inspire you to take a closer look at your own character defects and consider what steps you can take towards personal growth. So why not give this episode a listen? It could be the nudge you need to tackle your own fears and make strides in your recovery journey.
