Oh boy -- character defects. I had quite a list, once I got started. At the top of the list was pride, selfishness, laziness, defensiveness, stubborness, cynicism -- oh gosh, I can't remember them all now. But I had a list a mile long. There weren't really very many things on the asset list as I remember.
I think when we're workiing on Step 4, we're sometimes so disgusted with ourselves that we go overboard in demeaning ourselves that we forget that we're not animals -- that we DO have positive things about ourselves that we CAN include on our list. But we're still so angry with ourselves for becoming such a pitiful drunk that we just don't see these things at first. It may perhaps take our sponsor to remind us that we're really good people who have a disease. That was the case with me.
