4th step finale
 
Well I did my inventory a couple weeks ago with my T- just to be sure I wasn't beating myself up too much. I have a problem with too much negative self-talk. It went really well. I was so proud of myself. Now I need to write about my resentments. UGH.

Not fun, but necessary.

I am worried about it, but I've had plenty, and I mean plenty of time to consider what are my TRUE resentments, so I think I'm ready to begin!

It's easy really.

Just make a list of anything and everything and everyone that your pis#ed off At.

Mine was 9 pages A4.

Sounds like a lot of work, but believe me, once you get started they just flow and pour out.

I think it was about 2 hours work in total.

A lot of people procrastinate over this one, but I was told it doesn't have to be perfect or even 100% accurate [don't worry if the exact details of something years ago are a little fuzzy]

Just smash out the boulders and there is time to go back and clean up the rocks, stones and pebbles later.

Good luck and God bless

Hi Free, glad to see you are working along on Step 4. You are keeping this in a secure place, right? I don't want this to become a source of a future argument with your RAH.

Several of your future steps come back to Step 4 so it is useful for it to be written down and accessible.

Keep moving forward as you have time! I know you are juggling school and kids too...
