This step helped me to "get over myself". So often i had tried to revise reality in my head that confusion became a state of mind. Getting to the underneath of it all with my sponsor and the God of our understanding showed me that many of my fears are what had forced me to keep those things secret. Going over this step helped me to understand myself a little better. It also showed me the damage that addiction had done to me. My sponsor was able to help me to go deeper with some things that needed to be brought out. i started to see that the results of my actions were not the real problem. It provided an opportunity to see that my sponsor was committed to my recovery almost as much as i am. It strengthened the bond between us and helped us to see that were not so different from each other. It solidified the committment we share to each other's recovery process.
