Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have changed. We think you'll like them better this way.
We get to see our selves as other people see us; we get to know ourselves as other people know us. If we could see ourselves and know ourselves as other people know us, we would disappear on the spot. Cioran. To wrap this up ,we have been looking at our selves through a dark mirror Step Four is the ultimate windex (glass cleaner) that few have the courage to use this God given tool
————————
We wish to look squarely at the unhappiness this [set of liabilities] has caused others and ourselves We have embarked on a course of action that will restore us to sanity and ultimately root out the causes of our problem, trying, and failing, to live life on life’s terms.
That restoration will depend on our willingness to look at ourselves squarely in the eye and to endure the pain associated with facing what we have become.
The fantasy of finding an easier softer way that would allow us to avoid the pain is what has kept many from completing this step and from maintaining recovery.
Many of us assumed if we stopped our drinking all our problems would disappear. Nothing could be further from the truth.
