This is Step 5 in the program of
Alcoholics Anonymous
and other twelve-step recovery fellowships. It is greatly considered a "make or break" point in one's healing for the simple fact that the afflicted is usually greatly
ashamed
of things that have transpired during the course of active illness.
Admitting one's mistakes to oneself is to accept the truth of how things were.
Self-denial
can no longer be a convenient safety net. Admitting these same faulty behaviors to one's
Higher Power
is a display of
humility
, faith, and a desire to confront one's past at least in a spiritually
contemplative
light. For most alcoholics the hardest part of Step 5 is admitting one's wrongs to another human being.
Sure, it's a scary proposition to
expose
one's
transgressions
to another person, but it can be
liberating
as well. No longer does the sufferer have to feel so utterly isolated and terminally
condemned.
On the contrary, most people who openly, honestly and willingly undertake this step come to the
realization
that in perspective he/she is no better or worse than anyone else.
