Tormenting Ghosts
If we have swept the searchlight of Step Four back and forth over our careers,
and it has revealed in stark relief those experiences we'd rather not remember,
if we have come to know how wrong thinking and action have hurt us and others,
then the need to quit living by ourselves with those tormenting ghosts of yesterday
gets more urgent than ever. We have to talk to somebody about them.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Five) p. 55
