4th Step Resentments - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Helene · 04-09-2009, 02:56 PM

Hi All

I don't have a sponsor, and I cannot buy a BB where I currently live, so I am trying to do this using all the internet reasources at my disposal. I have just "finished" (I use the word loosely) my resentments list. Now after reviewing column 4, it seems that the majority of the resentments were all caused by me putting myself in silly situations by being drunk, high on drugs or both (major paranoia....). I would say this is a logical conclusion, I mean that is why I am here, I just didn't expect it to jump off the pages like that and be so glaringly obvious in black and white. Is this similar to the experience other people have had? Should I be digging deeper for more?

I read a thread some where of a lady who said she would be willing to share her lists with others...if anyone who feels their 4th step is fairly complete and is willing to share theirs, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Helene

Do you have a link to the BB online?

Unless you live in the himalyas or something, you can get a BB. They carry them at Barnes and Noble. Even if you are in the boon docks as long as they have mail service you can order one. Where are you anyway?
