As you begin your journey into your new life, you’ll take certain steps to build a new reality. As part of the 12 Step Process, you will reach step Four in the Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Step Program. This step requires you to “make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.” This is challenging but it is also an opportunity to look deeply into yourself and discover who you are and the source of your pain that leads to drinking.
A Program For YouA Program for You: A Guide to the Big Book’s Design for Living clears our way for discovering positive, powerful answers to these questions. In the years since 1939, the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, has guided millions in their search for a design for healthy living free of addictive behaviors.
Step four while yes, challenging can be done in 2 – 5 days, but many will take longer as it can be an emotional and healing process as you are writing. One of the most important parts to a 4th step is to simply start writing. It should be done with your sponsor and thier guidance but can be done with another person in your support system. At My 12 Step Store in West Hollywood, CA, we understand how real and tender this journey is. We provide materials that can help support you when you really need it.
