Position of Neutrality: Addressing Deep Resentments in Step 4 AA Understanding Conflict Navigating Marriage, Divorce, and Identity
Listen now
Description
Join Wayne Giles as he breaks down the complexities of Step 4 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on deeply held resentments, societal principles, and personal identity struggles. In this segment, Wayne courageously shares his own personal inventory, including his resentment towards homosexuality and God, a conflict that stems from feeling at odds with both his faith and his own identity. Wayne highlights the confusion and frustration many experience when told how they “should” be while feeling inherently different. He explains how the inventory process allows individuals to unpack and examine these powerful emotions, especially those rooted in societal expectations and religious teachings. In doing so, we find a way to process, accept, and ultimately release the resentments that weigh us down. As we navigate Step 4, Wayne emphasizes the importance of looking inward to address these conflicts, clearing away the anger and confusion that block us from understanding and connection. This segment is a powerful reminder that in the process of recovery, we must face not only our actions but also our feelings about who we are and how we relate to others.
