Responsibility for change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcomers to Twelve Step fellowships are often advised to stop focusing on why they are addicted and instead think on what they can do about it. Discovering a reason for your addiction might seem like a way of resolving a problem easily, but in truth there may be no reason, except that you\u2019re an addicted person. Seeking a reason may well be a device to avoid the pain of having to make some life-changing decisions. Far better to focus on positive action and take responsibility for change. Am I prepared to face the reality of my addiction and take responsibility for change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we embark upon a searching and fearless personal inventory at Step Four, it may help us to reflect that a life of total dedication to the truth is a reasonable aspiration for anyone. It is likely to result in true peace of mind, but it will not be easy. It does require continuous self-appraisal as recommended in Step Ten. Yet the feeling of relief when we have completed Steps Four and Five will be enormous. Today I ask for the strength to be fearless and thorough in taking personal inventory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
