I started to recognize patterns in my behavior and emotions through working steps 4, 8, and 10. Step 4 initiates self-awareness through a searching and fearless inventory of ourselves, uncovering character defects and emotional triggers. Step 8 extends this work by identifying people we harmed and becoming willing to make amends for disrupting their peace of mind. And then step 10 provides guidance self-check ins to not screw things up again.

These practices provide a sense of interconnectedness which replaces the isolation experienced by so many of the sick and suffering. Bonds with others in recovery are rooted in shared experiences and raw emotional honesty with mutual understanding. We become family, dysfunctional and accepting of that fact. We care for one another in an authentic, spiritually way that can heal all wounds.
