The fourth step seems to be the one most struggle with. I was okay with it at first, then my sponsor gave me all these lessons to make me dig deeper and deeper. I have way to much to deal with in one try, so I stopped where I was on it and moved on. I have done it again, but it was driving me crazy living in the past for so long. I had to get back to the present. I finished up my 4th step by writing down all the moral inventory that I liked about myself and focused on that. It will take years for me to walk through all my life, I haven't even begun to remember all of it yet. The biggest thing I took from working this step the first time was, I am not the man I intended to be or thought I was. That man is in me, but it will take time to really reach that. I keep going through the steps, taking a little longer each time. That is working for me. That is the thing I think should be stressed here, make sure to take a complete moral inventory, not just the bad stuff. Most of us have some pretty great qualities, and it can be just as hard to accept those as the bad ones.
