Part A – Jorge and Doug discuss the overview of working Step 4 in sex addiction recovery.  If you haven’t listened to steps 1-3, it may be a good idea to listen to episode 31 (Step 3), episode 20 (step 2), and episodes 9/10 (step one).

 In this podcast, they discuss how to not be overwhelmed with such an important step. They discuss how to create an inventory as well as some practical steps to doing the step work.  It is a good idea to have a sponsor in place before beginning this step as guidance is needed. 

They discuss how to make sure to balance the inventory with good qualities and not just character defeats to create a true picture of ourselves.

Meetings are an important part of entering into recovery. Beginning to integrate into a 12 step program is daunting. My experience was intimidating but rewarding. I didn’t know what to expect. Hopefully I can give you an overview of how it works and how to be open to building relationships. I am learning how to do so in every meeting.

Doug gives an example of a story he heard during his recovery that helped him realize that God is willing to go to any length to get our attention and purify us. Those methods might seem harsh at the on set, but they are ultimately an act of love.
