I did my step 4 last spring (at about 3 months sober). I did find it somewhat uncomfortable but more revealing than anything else. For years I was walking around under this huge black cloud and I didn’t know where all of the negativity & anxiety was coming from. The further I got into my step 4, the clearer things became. My part, my behavior, my character defects. It was like I finally knew what I had to do, the internal changes that were required.

Discussing my inventory with another human being was huge in terms of putting things in their proper perspective (I was blowing things out of proportion) and accepting that I am not a bad person.

I did my steps 5-7 shortly after completing my step 4 and the change was incredible -everything in perspective, accepting who I am, not feeling alone, peace.
