In a word, no. Why would you want to unload the garbage and keep the worst things? I also had a hard time on my 5th step. I thought I was so important that everyone wanted to know the dirt on me. I was scared to death that even one person on this earth knew what an ******* I really was. I went to a mens retreat where people take your 5th step and dont even know your name, I was still afraid.
I finally did it. I told the worst thing first. The rest was easy. Now I often share these secrets in open meetings, I have nothing to fear or hide. I am free!
