hi there. it's good to see you being proactive about your recovery. the steps are where the real healing takes place. as far as worrying about your inventory, if your higher power can restore your sanity, it's safe to say he can take care of those things too. just turn it over to him---he can handle it!     take care,  gm

The Steps are in order for a reason.  The Fourth Step is pretty heavy duty and it is not to be tackled until One, Two and Three are fully done.  Even then, the Fourth Step is best tackled with a Sponsor.

Given what you say about your current state, I'd say back off from Fourth Step work and spend some more time on Step One.  The First Step is the only one that can, and must be, worked perfectly.  Make sure that you have done so before you move on.  

It's not a race.  There will be lots of time for Step Four IF One, Two and Three are well and fully done.

It takes time, and time takes time.

Easy Does It.
