Quote = Nothing about principals in Column 1
But actually there is? It says SPECIFICALLY "We list the people, principals, or institutions with whom we were angry. We asked ourselves why we were angry..."
How is that not telling us to list it in our first column? I'm just curious. Every sponsor I've EVER worked with has asked me to do this?

Not 'over complicating' at all Keith, it's straight from the BB. Nothing about principals in Column 1. Just listing the folks we can 'remember' that we are angry and/or resentful at.
Now Column 2, when one gets to the 'nitty gritty' is where we start to look at OURSELVES to see if those resentments are in fact our own fault (our own expectations or not) and how we/I could have behaved differently.
Incidents like this are an immediate Step 10 for me to myself and immediately asking HP to 'protect' the child and 'help' the frustrated person to see.
We work on our 4th step alone, and share with our sponsor by doing the 5th Step and usually during that share is when the 'principals' start to appear which also helps us with that list of defects that we become entirely to have HP remove in Step 6 and then Humbly ask HP to remove in Step 7.
Nothing complicated at all. I was told and do believe to this day, that this is a very Simple program for very Complicated people. I don't believe in K.I.S.S ( despise the word 'stupic') but I do Keep It Simple.
