Step Four We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
Bill Wilson the cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous had this to say about step four in the 12 &12 his essay on the steps.
How instincts can exceed their proper functions.Step Four is an effort to discover our liabilities.Basic promblem of extremes in instinctive drives.Misguided moral inventory can result in guilt, grandiosity, or blaming others. Assets can be noted with liabilities.Self-justification is dangerous.Willingness to take inventory brings light and new confidence. Step four is beginning of lifetime practice. Common symptoms of emotional insecurity are worry, anger, self-pity, and depression.Inventory reviews relationships .Importance of thoroughness.
I have found step four to hold the key to anew freedom and release from past guilt and shame that hold many addicts captive.
