How constantly seeking approval steals authenticity, spiritual growth, and serenity.

The Big Book says resentment is the “number one offender.” It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. What begins as a minor irritation can quietly grow into spiritual poison. In this episode, we dig into what the Big Book actually says about resentment, how to write inventory, and how to find our own faults so we can be free.

Special guest Ryan continues his story — raw moments from the trap and the miracle of surrender. From chaos to calling, this episode highlights transformation at the deepest level.

Step Four isn’t about shame—it’s about clarity. In this episode, we reframe the Fourth Step as a tool for understanding the fear, pride, and out-of-balance instincts that drive our behavior long before alcohol shows up. This isn’t self-punishment—it’s pattern recognition, truth, and the foundation for real freedom.
