Work Step 4 – Sexual and Relationship Rehabilitation

Honest self-reflection opens up the mind for reprogramming, change, success and freedom.

Often, as restorative and porn addicts, we are afraid of thinking about Step 4, searching ourselves and fearless moral lists. Therefore, we may try to delay step 4. Some of us may stop taking steps altogether and decide that we can have a meeting alone to sober up. Others may create excuses after excuses of procrastination – provided we get stuck in steps 2 and 3, choose to focus on our career or our relationship, switch sponsors because old stale reasons seem too thrilling, etc. Whatever our reason, not working Step 4 puts us in ruts, moving forward and forward our recovery. When this happens, we need to understand that work step 4 is the key to internal growth and lasting soberness. After all, steps 5 to 9 (rehabilitation steps) are all built on the work we did in step 4.
