Sorry, I posted this in the Step 5 forum, but it doesn't look active since August.

I am frightened about step 5, because I have alot of guilt I have dealt with and continue to deal with about myself. While I have not started actually working the steps, seeing alot of seemingly happy people who have has made me interested and attracted to working them.

I have a close friend who confided in only me about some really serious things they had done, and when revealing this to their sponsor in step 5, their sponsor didn't even flinch, and actually forgave them for it. (As I did too).

I think that is a great, compassionate thing, and makes it even more attractive to me, but I am still scared of this one. I think I will be ready for it after I work steps 1-4.
