Join Wayne Giles as he explores the deep connection between fear and the impact it has on our spiritual and personal lives in Step 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne addresses how fear can consume us, much like how stealing robs us of our time, peace, and focus. Fear becomes a thief, holding us back from the growth we seek and causing us to spiral into unproductive thinking and worry. Through the process of self-examination, we learn to confront the fears that have been driving our actions, writing them down even if they aren’t tied to any specific resentment.
By asking ourselves why these fears exist, we often find that our reliance on self is the root cause of our anxiety. When we try to face life on our own terms, without turning to a higher power, we often fall short. This failure leads to frustration and further fear. In both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), we’re taught that overcoming fear involves accepting that self-reliance alone will not solve our problems—we need help beyond ourselves to truly find peace.
Wayne’s personal reflections on the destructive nature of fear remind us of the importance of spiritual surrender in recovery. Only by trusting in a power greater than ourselves can we find freedom from the fear that keeps us stuck.
