My sponser moved away and since I don't have a solid sponser right now, she left me in the care of her 'under study', David... David is extremely dedicated to his recovery and has taught me so many things since I've known him. He felt I was ready for my Fourth Step and gave me the worksheet to do it. I've been working on it all weekend and I must say, I'm completely drained and exhausted from it. You have to be brutally honest with yourself on the worksheet and that's often times hard, having to look at yourself as who you were in the past and who you are now and what's changed, etc, etc... Also had to write down my resentments, why I'm resentful towards them, and how I can break free from those resentments... Boy, was that a hard one. I just finally completed it this morning and now that I'm done, it's such a relief and it was actually kind of like a cleansing experience. I feel more free from my burdens that held me down for so long... All my secrets are out there now and not held in. I'm loving it!
Have you worked on or completed Step Four? What was your experience with it and how did it make you feel? Has it helped you or do you feel it's harmed you? Please share!
