Join Wayne Giles as he explores the powerful lessons from Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the impact of holding onto resentments. Many of us have used our anger as fuel, living for our resentments without realizing how deeply it harms our recovery. Wayne reminds us that while others may feel justified in their anger, we must let go of it if we want to grow spiritually.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous warns us that resentment is one of the greatest obstacles to our recovery. It blinds us, traps us in a cycle of pain, and blocks us from connecting with a higher power. Step 4 calls on us to examine our resentments, identify how they have controlled our actions, and be willing to let them go. This is not about blaming others but about taking responsibility for our reactions and choosing a path of healing and forgiveness.

Wayne shares that resentment only leads to hopelessness and futility, preventing us from achieving the emotional freedom we seek in recovery. By taking a thorough moral inventory and facing our defects, we begin the process of true spiritual growth. Letting go of anger allows us to live with purpose and peace.

oin Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 4 session, Wayne shares insights into the common struggle of fear—fear of not being good enough or of constant failure. Self-reliance, while once useful, often falls short in addressing deeper fears and uncertainties, especially for those grappling with addiction. The authors of the Big Book understood that false confidence or arrogance only makes the fear worse, leading to deeper insecurities.

Wayne reflects on how true confidence doesn’t come from self-reliance alone but from a power greater than ourselves. Many in sobriety have found strength they never knew they had through spiritual reliance. Facing fear head-on, while difficult, becomes manageable with the right guidance, faith, and support. In this Step 4 session, we dive into these challenges and discover how embracing vulnerability and seeking support from a higher power can be life-changing.

Join Wayne Giles as he takes us through the unique approach to the 12 Steps, focusing on the suggested instructions for Step 4, directly from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Wayne explains that the process described by the authors has been proven to work for addicts of the hopeless variety—those addicted to alcohol and other substances. The depth and weight of this recovery program are designed for those seeking true freedom from addiction.

In this session, Wayne emphasizes that this experience may differ from other recovery meetings you’ve attended. Here, the expectation is that you will have a spiritual encounter and transformation. The goal is to move beyond simply attending meetings and into actively engaging in a proven process that leads to personal growth and liberation from addiction.

Wayne’s focus on this recovery journey highlights the importance of taking Step 4 seriously. It’s not just about reading the text—it’s about living it, working through your personal inventory, and finding the strength to move forward. This is where the real work begins, and it’s through this process that addicts find lasting freedom.

Join Wayne Giles as he reflects on the resilience developed through the recovery journey, especially in Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne asks how many of us in sobriety have faced challenges we never could have handled in active addiction. He reminds us that it’s often the deep inner power—the connection to a higher power—that enables us to overcome life’s calamities.

Prior to engaging in the AA program, many of us experienced a pattern of moving from one crisis to the next, seemingly stuck in a cycle of chaos. But by embracing this manner of living and aligning with the spiritual principles of the 12 Steps, we begin to tap into a strength far greater than ourselves. It’s this power that helps us face life’s challenges with a newfound sense of peace and purpose.

Wayne’s story encourages us to reflect on our own journey and recognize the growth we’ve achieved through this process. We no longer have to navigate life’s struggles alone—we have the guidance of a higher power and the support of our recovery community.

Join Wayne Giles as he shares insights into the often complex topic of sexuality, particularly as it relates to Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne reminds us that our sexual powers are God-given and inherently good. Whether we struggle with shame, misuse, or fear regarding our sexuality, it’s important to recognize that these feelings can either help or hinder our spiritual growth.

Wayne emphasizes the importance of not loathing or despising our sexuality, as doing so only harms ourselves. Similarly, using it selfishly or irresponsibly hurts others. Instead, we are called to embrace our sexual nature in a healthy and balanced way, striving toward our personal ideals with a spirit of growth and self-reflection.

As Joe often points out, the word “must” in AA has a deeper meaning. It’s not about a sense of obligation but about realizing that if we’re committed to recovery, why wouldn’t we want to strive toward being our best selves? In this reflection, we are encouraged to see sexuality as a vital part of who we are, deserving of respect, understanding, and care.

Join Wayne Giles as he takes us through a deeply personal moment in his recovery journey during Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Wayne opens up about childhood trauma and how his initial approach to his fourth step provided temporary relief but not lasting healing. His sponsor had told him he was a victim and had no part in the event, offering him permission to move on, but true healing didn’t follow.

Years later, during another fourth step process, Wayne added the trauma back to his list and found deeper clarity. While he was indeed a victim, it became clear that he was still suffering from his own thoughts about the event. This realization helped Wayne confront the emotional weight of the trauma and begin to heal on a much deeper level.

Through this reflection, Wayne shows us how important it is to fully face our past during the fourth step, not just to label ourselves victims, but to work through the thoughts and feelings that continue to affect us. By doing this, we can truly let go, move forward, and heal in the process of recovery.

Join Wayne Giles as he unpacks the role fear plays in our lives, especially in the context of Step 4 in Alcoholics Anonymous. Wayne discusses the underlying fear that drives us—whether it’s the fear of losing something we already have or not getting something we want—and how that fear often leads to poor decisions. These choices, rooted in fear, set off a chain of events that result in misfortune, even though we feel we didn’t deserve it.

In this session, Wayne highlights how our actions—based on fear—rarely serve us well, often leading to negative outcomes for ourselves and those around us. As we continue the process of self-reflection in Step 4, we come to realize that we are not simply victims of circumstance. Instead, we often play an active role in setting the ball rolling through fear-driven behavior, even though it feels unfair at the time.

Through this powerful reflection, Wayne ties in the principles of AA and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), helping us move from a place of blame to one of responsibility. This shift allows us to break the cycle of fear, make more conscious choices, and truly grow in our recovery.

Join Wayne Giles as he dives into Step 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on how we deal with resentments and begin the action steps of recovery. Wayne reminds us that in dealing with resentments, we set them on paper, listing people, institutions, or principles with which we’re angry. He emphasizes that we often think we can control ourselves—yet we were unable to control our actions when caught in the grips of addiction, so why would we think we can control anything else?

Wayne encourages us to let go of the notion that we have control over people, places, or things. Through the Step 4 process, we recognize that trying to control others is futile. Instead, we learn to focus on our part in situations and take ownership of our actions, allowing us to experience growth and healing. The key to this step is understanding that we cannot control others, but we can face our resentments and move forward by focusing on what we can change—our own behavior and responses.

This session is a crucial part of the recovery journey, emphasizing personal accountability and the release of old resentments. Wayne ties this discussion back to the teachings of AA and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), guiding us toward spiritual growth through humility and self-awareness.

Join Wayne Giles as he discusses the concept of spiritual sickness in Step 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne emphasizes the importance of compassion when dealing with others who are spiritually unwell. Just as we wouldn’t judge someone with cancer for the symptoms of their illness, we must extend the same understanding to those suffering from spiritual sickness. Often, those who offend us are manifesting their own pain and struggles, and it is through compassion and prayer that we can respond with grace instead of anger.

Wayne introduces us to the Step 4 prayer: “This is a sick man, how can I be helpful to him? God, save me from being angry. Thy will be done.” This simple prayer reminds us to look beyond the offense and see the person behind it, allowing us to be of service to others in their spiritual journey while maintaining our own peace.

The prayer is not just for moments of conflict but for daily practice, helping us to shift our perspective from anger to understanding. Wayne’s reflections in this session tie deeply into the AA and ISE teachings, showing us that true spiritual growth comes when we replace judgment with empathy.

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.
