plodding through slowly - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I've been working on the 4th step for a while. I thought I was done and good with the relationship section until I had my review at work. It seems that I have a difficult time expressing myself positively with my co-workers. Until my review, I never realized that I was so negative. I guess that's just something else I need to work on.

step four is an information gathering session. Looks like you are getting some help in that area. The difference here, if I may make a guess, is that you HEAR what is being said to you and consider it.

In active addiction I know I would have been likely to start thinking of ALL kinds of reasons that the review was wrong and how I am not like that it's the coworkers who are negative towards me...etc.

I hear you looking for and accepting your part. Sounds like you are doing an honest step four.

bravo!
