"Step 4 leads us to take a thorough look at ourselves. Until we take our inventory, we don’t’ know which character defects blocked us from recovery."
The first time I worked this step, I too procractinated. Then took a qick long look that produced an overwhelming inventory.
This time around working step 4, I have decided to spend as long as it takes on this step. I will only put 1 - 3 items on the inventory at a time and then address them, again with as much time as ea. takes.
