Step 4 Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself.
To err is human. The Bible (if you are a believer) has a written moral code. JW's add to this canon many more rules and dictates that are man and created by men who never raised a family in the real world. Exiting JW's must discard the guilt and shame to find their own goodness and moral compass or they are destined to suffer needlessly for decades.
Step Admit to yourself, others, and to God or your higher power the exact nature of your wrongs.
Get psychotherapy and you will find the root cause of your wrongs. Most issues are created in childhood. Heal the issue change the behavior
Step 6. Be entirely ready to grow up and take ownership these defects of character to discover your true divine nature.
Some issues are generational sins of your fathers. Whatever you inherited or created from a flawed environment can be changed.
Step 7. Make amends with those you harmed (if this is possible).
Some ex JW's are pained from never saying I'm sorry to deceased loved ones.
Step 8. Develop awareness to recognize when you are wrong and own it. Correct course as part of the journey.
Step 9-12 Enjoy a new found freedom and follow your path
