b'\\u201cWe\\u2019ve looked at ourselves honestly in Steps Four and Five, but now we have to do something about what we\\u2019ve discovered. We have to be ready to change. What gives us the courage to take this Step is the sensitivity to our own pain, which develops as we work\\nthrough the Steps. At each Step and each level of honesty we see and feel more -\\nin our minds, in our hearts, in our emotions. As this ability to feel becomes more refined with the increasing clarity of sobriety, it becomes more painful (or we become more aware of the pain) to hold on to the self-destructive aspects of ourselves.\\u201d\\n~ Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps, p. 138.'
