4th step question????

Today is my 33rd consecutive sober day. I have been going to AA meetings and yesterday I finished reading the Big Book cover to cover, all 575 pages. I'm trying to work my way through the steps as well and I have come to Step 4 - "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves".

As I look at the Big Book and other material I have come across they focus on listing resentments and the causes and effects of those as the primary focus of the 4th step. I have racked my brain over this one and I can't think of a single person I have any resentment toward. I'm sure there are a few people with resentments toward me (and I'll deal with them in steps 8-9) but, for my part, I'm cool with everyone. I have already done a thorough examination of conscience to account for all my moral shortcomings. I listed them on a piece of paper and have come clean on those with a priest.

So my question is, am I done with Steps 4 and 5????
