You bring up a good point. We read the OP completely different. What I understood was the the first 3 Steps had been worked and she was now working on her 4th Step. It appears you read it as the OP was starting on the 4th as the first 3 had been repeatedly done during prior relapses.
I do completely agree with Laurie. If you have not worked the first three steps this time around then there is no point in working the 4th Step. If you have worked the first 3 this time around (as I understood your post to say) then going on to your 4th is a positive thing to do as delaying the Steps is not going to get you sober and help you to stop relapsing. The Steps and working them is key to sobriety but you have to work the Steps to the best of your ability as they are something that you will continually apply to every aspect of your life as you continue your sobriety.
Thank you Laurie for helping me see the post from a different perspective.
