What is Step 4 from the Twelve Steps of Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families World Service's Organization?
Step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- This step allows us to get in touch with all sides of our personality (what we're proud of and ashamed of as well).
- Uncovers what we truly fear.
- How we've used denail. But denial takes many forms (minimizing, blaming, excusing, dodging, or attacking).
- And how we've kept up with unhealthy behaviors that used to help us as kids, but now only block our maturing and growth.
- Resentment has also blocked us from living in the present. We might be too focused on the past.
