Welcome to the Awake and Sober Podcast, a podcast about Life in Recovery through Christ! We have a great show for you this week as we continue our 12 Step Series! We will be discussing what holds us back from completing a step 4. We will discuss why sometimes in can be Pride and other times maybe it is Fear of the unknown or potential feelings and emotions that come with putting it all out in the open!  All of us here at Awake and Sober have completed a step 4 and we hope that after you watch, some of your worries will disappear and you can dive in to what makes you, You!  We appreciate all of your support and as always... We hope you enjoy the show! A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that? The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don’t you deserve a great writing instrument? We think you do, and so does the sponsor of the Awake and Sober Podcast Tactile Turn.  If you have yet to use a Tactile Turn pen, let’s be honest: are you even writing?!? If you are struggling with a behavioral health crisis or suicidal ideation and need to talk with someone, please call or text 988. You can also chat with someone online at 988lifeline.org
