The Laundry List

The Laundry List refers to a detailed inventory of personal shortcomings or issues, often used in therapeutic or recovery settings, particularly within Alcoholics Anonymous. It involves identifying and acknowledging traits like dishonesty, resentment, or fear that hinder personal growth and relationships. The purpose is to promote self-awareness and facilitate character development by confronting these issues honestly. This exercise encourages individuals to understand the root causes of their behavior and work towards positive change, supporting their journey of recovery and personal improvement.
