Castimonia Purity Podcast Episode 73: Conversation with Ben – Resentments, Fear, Pride, and Being Right
Ben and Doug discuss the power of the progression in working Steps 4-7. Ben utilizes some real life issues that have come up that can brew into resentments. These are often caused by fear and pride issues. So being aware helps us in recovery start to turn those over to a higher power.
They also discuss the patterns of thinking that can continually damage relationships, like having to “be right.” The ability to try to control someone else’s emotions can rob our own joy and serenity.
