How The 4th Step Works!
 
Start Writing your 4th Step!... It will releave alot of the Anger you need to process that is backed up from years of abusive behavior to the mind, body and soul... It works, only if you work it! Trust in God, Clean House and Help Others!

Yup. It's a great step.

Two words of caution.

1. Do it with your sponsor

2. DON"T LIST IT HERE !! (Let's keep this place PG. OK ? ) ;)

I no longer feel that anger, fear, depression and guilt that used to weigh me down.

Whoops I just shared my story in the forums. Oh well I know today that my past is my greatest asset if it will help just one person to identify.

Chance - your story is great, hon. You shared with honesty and intimacy.
And it WILL help others. Trust.

i am definitely going to do this i really need to

BtB -

I recommend doing this with a sponsor (dunno if you have one)

I finished my fifth step yesterday.

What kept me going through the fourth was the thought -
"If I don't *do* this, and *do* this for REAL ... I'm going to have the life I've always had"...
and at my age - that was enough to keep me going!

good luck!
