The root of our alcoholism and our alcoholic thinking is our character defects.  The 12 Steps are instrumental in getting through our character defects, especially with Steps 4 and 5.  Many of our character defects are associated with fear and ego.  Character defects have a root in selfishness and doing for others is a way to bust them.  Here are ways to work on a character defect:

• Acknowledgement of the defect
• Prayer
• Talk to another alcoholic

Join Steve and Matt as we talk about Character Defects, how they impact us and how we address them to live a happy sober life.
