Seven Deadly Sins and the 4th Step
I am not afraid to do a searching and fearless moral inventory. I just can't get my head around the resentment approach. I have been doing a lot of work on my inventory, just not my resentments... not that I don't have any, but I am stuck.
There is a hard core type AA at my home group. He shoots straight and tells it like it is, he alone has helped many a problem I've had with this early sobriety thing. I was talking about my 4th step problem with him... he has like 23 years of sobriety and he has what I want. He suggested that I look at it more directly... like from the seven deadly sins perspective, rather than the resentment angle.
That I can do... When I go at it like that, things fall into place... I brainstormed with him a while after the last meeting and he was amazingly helpful. He agreed to work with me once I get my inventory together... which I want to do before vacation in a couple of weeks.
What do some of you who have worked the steps think of this approach?
