I'm not an AAer but I worked through step 4 & realized I had way more problems than I realized. It helped me pinpoint the areas I needed to work on.
My depression & anxiety are pretty much gone after 11 weeks sober.
Still working on my problems but it feels great to tackle things head on, instead of hiding in a bottle. There is no peace in avoidance.
I say the serenity prayer alot too. Best wishes.
