To thine own self be true. Exact nature is not holding anything back. Why is it secretive for you to not disclose who you harmed and how you harmed them? You are not telling the person(s) you harmed (yet)...you are telling your sponsor or whomever you have chosen to share your 4th step with.

The (main) point of step five (in my opinion) is to find your patterns of behavior and see how they have negatively affected your life, your decision, your choices. If you are not completely honest with yourself, you are cheating yourself from this. Step 4 is "made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves".

Blessings,
Jen
