den,I sent you a pm,but I am going to post it her also...

I used a 7 page form to do mine.It is a pdf file and I tryed to upload it and failed.If you want it,email me at oldhippietommy@gmail.com and I`ll send it as a attachment.It has a resentment ,fear,and sex inventory form , patterened after the big book.It also has several pages of lists of people,places and principles to "jog our memory" which I found very handy.If you use it,you will have to print it off and then copy the resentment,fear and sex inventory pages to get as many as you need.

I had trouble since I was so confused.My sponser told me to go back as far as possible,and break my life down into 5 year blocks.0-5 yrs(example)
5-10 yrs
10-15 yrs
15-20 yrs etc
untill I got to the present time.

On the resentment inventory,I read it thru,then listed my resentments in column one,from top to bottom.
I did not go from left to right..I just listed who/what I was resentfull at first.
I had 96 resentments listed..if it was close to a resentment,I wrote it down.I also found out I could have more than one resentment toward one persom..

I then went to the 2nd column and filled in the column,from top to bottom..why was I resentfull?
then I went to the 3rd,affects my....?
and then the last column where was I.....?
I saw a pattern emerging thru out my 4th step..

Filling out the 3rd and 4th columns was the hardest for me but I just did the best I could.There is no perfect 4th step..so do not worry,just do it.
I did the same thing in the fear(28 fears) and the sex inventory(48 things there)

good luck!
Let me know if you want it or if I can be of help..
in the fellowship of the spirit
