Step Five: We Admitted to God, to Ourselves, and to Another Human Being the Exact Nature of Our Wrongs

This week on the Living Clean Podcast, we continue our walk through the Twelve Steps with one of the most powerful and freeing steps in recovery.Our consistent panel returns — Archer, Pete, and Douglas — and we’re joined by two special guests, Janine E. and Christina T., for an honest discussion on Step Five and what it truly means to let go of secrecy, shame, and the weight we have carried for far too long.We talk about the fear that can come before this step, the courage it takes to be fully honest, and the relief that often follows when we finally share the truth with God, ourselves, and another human being. We also explore trust, vulnerability, humility, and how Step Five helps break the isolation that keeps many of us stuck.This step is not about punishment. It is about freedom, healing, and no longer living alone inside our own mind.If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, fear, or telling the truth about your past, this episode is for you.Do yourself a favor and listen.
