For me steps 2 and 3 didn't make any sense until after I had made it through my major amends.
Step 2 is just saying "i am willing to believe that a god of my understanding can restore my sanity"
step 3 was something i did everyday until I believed it
I didn't believe it fully until I took some other steps. so my advice would be just do your best on 2 and 3. Then don't hesitate with your 4th and 5th, get em done asap.
I didn't do a 4th and 5th my first go, and I got drunk and started drugging again.
