If this worked for you, more power to you.
I agree with regarding the point of Step 5. The point of Step 5 is see the pattern in our behavior. Once we see the pattern, we can start working on correcting the pattern.
The Big Book specifically states that the 5th Step should be taken with the written 4th Step in front of us: "When we decide who is to hear our story, we waste no time. We have a written inventory and we are prepared for a long talk...We pocket our pride, and go to it, illuminating every twist of character, every dark cranny of the past." Alcoholics Anonymous, Fourth Edition, p. 75
For many members, it is very helpful to share that 4th step list with a sponsor or other person because another person can help them see the pattern. It also eliminates any secrets.
