S1 Ep 7: Step 4, reflect on the past but do not dwell there.

Published: Feb. 14, 2020, 9 p.m.

This week I talk about Step 4 in the 12 steps to Recovery. Step 4 is "Make a searching and fearless written moral inventory of yourself". This is a step that really aided me in my recovery. Reflecting on our past can help us improve in so many ways. I believe reflection of our past can help us learn, improve and progress. As I talk about reviewing our past mistakes I emphasize how it's OK to reflect, but not to dwell. Often our past drags us down and absorbs us into past mistakes and regret. Do not dwell, just reflect. This step is liberating. Writing down all of our past mistakes, failures and regrets is the beginning to recovering from them and letting them go. Please join me as I talk about this Step in my own life.
