I did my first fifth step with a Priest, face to face, during confession. For those not familiar with the sacrament, you sort of have to do Step 6 and 7 before you do it. That is for a Confession to be valid there has to be a "Firm Purpose of Amendment", which is a sincere desire to no longer succumb to the sin being confessed. The Act of Contrition, wherein the penitent more or less asks God for the grace to "sin no more" and expresses their contrite heart in having done so in the first place.

I've most recently been in a cycle of 6 and 7 as it pertains to SLOTH, which was revealed to me by a sponsor after going through some inventory. Progress has been made, I"m still willing, I'm still praying. I don't have much time to waste, so - whatever time I do have shouldn't be wasted. I"m willing, but I fall asleep sometimes - a lot.
