I have a question/concern regarding steps 4 & 5. I am in the process of doing a "searching & fearless moral inventory" but I find myself holding back on detailed specifics in some instances (for now, I am addressing these matters by generalizing). These specifics are very personal in nature and I really do not trust another human being with this information. I have no issues with admitting these details to my Creator & myself.

I was originally considering admitting my wrongs to my sponsor (still may) but, like everyone else, he is fallible. I can't be certain that another human being won't hit a weak moment in the future (eg. start drinking) and my personal information will be disclosed (I live in a small city, gossip gets around quickly). Plus, some information is very humiliating. While I am concerned about my own wellbeing, I also worry because others would be affected if this information got out.

Is it okay to keep certain specifics between my Creator & myself and just disclose them to another human being in a more general way? A closely related question, why is is so important to disclose this information to another human being? While I intend to do this, I am having a tough time seeing the full value in providing every last detail to another person - admitting it to my Creator & myself seems to be the key.

I am trying to do my moral inventory to the best of my ability but I find myself getting a bit hung up on this matter. Any help is appreciated!
