Position of Neutrality: Learning Tolerance and Healing in Step 4 AA Learning Tolerance Turning Pain into Patience
Join Wayne Giles as he dives into the challenging but crucial lessons of Step 4 in Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, we explore the destructive nature of our resentments and how we must cultivate tolerance, patience, and goodwill—even toward those we perceive as enemies. It’s difficult, but necessary for our healing.
The Big Book reminds us again and again that true spiritual growth comes from recognizing the sickness in ourselves and others, learning to view people through the lens of compassion. Wayne shares personal experiences about making a list of those we have harmed and being willing to make amends, even if we’re not ready to take that step immediately. This is about acknowledging the pain we’ve caused and preparing our hearts for reconciliation and healing.
Step 4 is not just about writing down our wrongs, but about beginning the process of making things right, as the authors of Alcoholics Anonymous instruct. We must be willing to straighten out the past, even if the thought of making amends seems impossible now. Writing it down is the first step toward freeing ourselves from the weight of our past actions and opening ourselves to the power of a higher power to heal those relationships.
