ACOA Red Book Step 5
Step 5- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
I have gotten closer to my higher power in the last 5 years than I have ever been. I feel He has brought me to this eye-opening stage of my life where I am really owning my part in my resentments, fears, reality. I am really stepping away from victimhood and it feels good. I have been admitting to God my wrongs, but also giving Him my gratefulness for this knowledge. I feel more "aware" than I have ever been in my life. I am not sure what human being I need to admit my "wrongs" to as I think this is a touchy thing for us ACOAs. For most of our lives we have taken responsibility for a lot of "wrongs" that had nothing to do with us and lied to ourselves about our feelings. What is your take on Step 5?
