Step Four

“Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.”

The power of this step is that it offers us a template to follow for the rest of our lives, a new way of thinking, and an opportunity to begin cleaning up our side of the street.

Step Three

“Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him.” 

Step Three is like opening a locked door. How do we let a High Power into our lives? In Step 3 we explore four core concepts:

1. Making a decision and cutting off everything except the things that matter most

2. Willingness and surrender

3. What it means to receive care

4. Our concept of a Higher Power

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Sobriety Series!

Many of you have reached out to me with questions about physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional sobriety. And so I thought that I would add a mini-episode every Sunday morning to explore aspects of sobriety and all the different modalities and practices that we have come to know about healing and recovery from any kind of addiction. 

I am by no means the final word on sobriety and recovery, but I am happy to share what I know, keep the conversation open, and stay curious and teachable. So whether it is sobriety from drugs, alcohol, or behaviors that are impacting your ability to function like gambling addiction or sex addiction, whether you are curious about mental and emotional sobriety from people places and things, or you identify as an adult child of an alcoholic, addiction, or dysfunctional family, this space on Sunday mornings is for you.

This is such a deeply personal episode for me. I even share a journal entry from this week. If you are going through something similar, I hope you feel seen, heard, and supported. 

Are we able to let good things happen in our lives? Do we automatically assume it must be a mistake, scam, trick, or just something good that will happen before something bad inevitably happens? Can we meet calamity and opportunity with serenity? How can we come to terms with being chosen after a lifetime of choosing ourselves?

These are just some of the questions we explore in this episode as well as a 5 step plan to navigate anxiety we have around our own imposter syndrome.

Step Two

“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” 

What can we believe in? The Twelve Steps are only suggestions, they do not demand anything from us. We explore four core concepts:

1. Spiritual experience

2. Sanity and insanity

3. Higher Power

4. Belief and faith

In this episode, we explore the ways that shame shows up in our lives, including; shame about who we are, shame about things we’ve said, done, felt or thought, and shame about the things that have happened to us. We will take a look at the relationship shame has with our fear, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and resentments. As always, I have included helpful journal prompts to support you in processing your own experience with shame.

Step One

“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” 

Who cares to admit complete defeat? Admission of powerlessness is the first step in liberation. In this step, we explore the relationship between humility and sobriety.
