So glad I trudged through the 4th step. The reward of completing my inventory and the subsequent inventories has been serenity. Something I never had while I was drinking.
Just like in the 12&12 I would stall and drag my feet on my 4th step.
“Both his pride and his fear beat him back every time he tries to look within himself. Pride says you need not pass this way and Fear says You dare not look!”
But I found the willingness to begin and that’s all it took. The Miracle of it all is that I’m not drinking today.
