“We pocket our pride and go to it, illuminating every twist of character, every dark cranny of the past.” – Big Book p.75

Step 5 is our opportunity to step out of the darkness and into the light. It’s the beginning of the end of behavior that is really unbecoming to us. Once completed, we simply clean up any wreckage from our past (including yesterday) and start over again by acting in ways that reflect the person we aspire to be: loving, kind, helpful, compassionate, thoughtful,  unselfish, fun, easy going, non-critical, etc. We Uncover. We Discover. We Discard. When that becomes my daily plan for living, ILML!
