Step Four…I always say that this was a gift to myself by myself…While writing this list of events…fears, secrets, relations, and resentments…etc…things that were pressing me in the here and now and of-course the past. I really went through a flood of emotions from anger to sadness…But what I realize is… that its okay to feel again. I wrote…prayed..spoke to my Sponsor and this really was a wonderful experience…I believe that if Im practicing the first 3 Steps I will move and complete my inventory. My decision in Step three shows me that Im moving on with this program…This is the start of me seeing the exact nature of things…Like if I stole…What was behind it…Simple…… FEAR of lacking…or not having enough…This step will help me in the remaining steps 5-9…Its my list of good and bad {moral} facts that can no longer be hidden in the dark. Im ready to expose myself 100%…This is Honesty on a deeper level than step one. My sponsor will help my see how my defects caused much trouble in steps 5-7. I see Courage, Faith, and Honesty as some principles I’m working in this step…I’m ready to share this with God , My sponsor, and of course myself..Now I’m at Step Five……
