Step Five involves sharing the findings of our moral inventory with another person and with God. It requires us to admit the exact nature of our wrongs and shortcomings, owning up to our past mistakes and behaviors. By verbalizing our inventory to another human being and to our savior, we deepen our self-awareness and honesty. Step Five fosters humility, courage, and a sense of connection, as we release the burden of secrecy and shame. Through this process of confession and openness, we pave the way for continued growth and transformation on the path to recovery.
