In step 4, it teaches us to take a moral inventory of ourselves. I'm sorry this is a late post. Because of the holidays and I hope that it helps someone that is going through something around this time of year because of the holidays are a hard time for everyone that is in recovery because we either want to be around our families. Or we want to go home to our families or bring families close to us or settle on our recovery families. Instead, either way family is family and family always comes problems because of the things we did in our addiction to our families, we scarred our names, so now we're having to build trust and Repertoire with everyone all over again, we sit back and at first when we're getting clean, we think that our issues are our issues and our families didn't have a problem with it at all, and all in all our families only understand what they stand up under that is a stolen quote. But it's never been more real. So whenever you're doing your inventory, it's going to hurt like heck because they asked you to go into that dark place that got you dirty in the first place. You cannot manage to leave anything covered because if you leave one thing covered, it's going to destroy what you're building. I've learned that over the last 4 years of my recovery. Yay, by the way, I am coming up on my fourth year of being a recovering addict, but it took me getting tired of all the old stuff. I did go back out and I because I thought that like who cares anyway like I was putting all the work in just for me nobody gave a cared you know. But by the time I found out that they did care, I had already relapsed in my addiction, so I had to go and get myself clean back up the whole walk of shame, he knows that Walker, Shane comes in many areas of life. We've all had a walk of shame or 2 or 3, but that's a personal inventory It teaches us that those dark places that we hid everything we took everything and we thought that nobody would like us or want us to near them would be the grimiest parts of us and we would try to hide those places because we didn't want anyone to find out, yeah, that's you. That's what you did. That's who you are. It's not who you are, it's what you did is how you took that and you let it destroy you instead of building on it, a strong foundation and walking with faith and leaning on gods everlasting pure love. We all have challengesThat we live by just remember that it was someone else in that dark place to play your tape all the way through do not get to the beginning in the middle of it and say, oh yeah, I remember now I got to go use because you don't want to play that tape all the way through. You're going to know that relapsing. It was not an option. Because you don't wanna lose the life that you built, and some people may look at the life that you build say, oh, she aint got much better be clean off drugs, they don't, they haven't been where you are, they don't know where you came from, they don't know the darkness that consumes you so they can't understand why so little means you're so rich. They'll never be able to look at you. And say, I don't get it before she did drugs, she had all this now. She's clean again. I wonder if she's still using just because of how you maintain the little things you have no one will never be able to truly know and understand what it takes. I'm here guys if you ever wanna talk as always looking for new people to join the group, I'm posting in a group once a week now, I will try over the New Year to post more times the end of the week into the group.
