"Where is your defect of character? Mine? No, I don't have any defect of character, especially in that situation."
Ever wondered why the fourth step in recovery might feel like trying to wrestle a bear? In this episode of SoberQ, Uliana candidly shares her journey of facing the daunting Step Four inventory. Having transitioned from Al-Anon to AA, Uliana initially believed she had a grip on sobriety without needing the infamous Step Four. However, a tense encounter with her ex-husband at a Siberian convention led her to realise that pride and resentment were clouding her path.
With the help of a fellow attendee, Uliana confronted her character defects and found unexpected relief. Her story is one of facing fears and embracing vulnerability, showing that sometimes the biggest hurdles lead to the most profound changes. Through humour and honesty, Uliana's experience is a testament to the transformative power of self-reflection and community support. If you're curious about how facing your fears can lead to growth, this episode might just be what you need.
