ESSAY June 2026 - Serenity: Steps Four Through Seven - Juan E., Murica, Spain

Being rid of anger through the Steps allowed him to experience peace and hope. Although I was sober, serenity seemed to elude me in my SA recovery. It wasn’t until I wrote my Step Four inventory that I discovered why: I was still an angry person. I had surrendered my desire to lust, but I was still waging a war of anger against my spouse, my coworkers, my friends, and anyone who didn’t see things my way. I had switched drugs (from sex to anger) and was a dry drunk.
