And for someone with a hard time letting go, moving on has always been a challenge. I will finish this Step and move on to the next. That's all we can do right?
That is the best we can do dear! Those steps aren't meant to be worked just once or perfectly. Now that I practice the 10th step (continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it), it's been a long time since I've worked a 4th. That isn't to say that I won't need another 4th at some point. i am human, therefore prone to mistakes, and I need to look at those mistakes.
You are doing a wonderful job of working your recovery! Be proud of yourself; I am!
