Step #4 – My Life … In Black & White (Part 3 )

For this episode I will finish up on the fourth step by trying to remember exactly how I performed it. For me, although I made the lengthy list, it wasn’t so much about the things I did, but more so about the feelings I was having during my drinking days and especially the feelings I developed before I started to drink.

This was very important for me because I was truly starting to become in touch with my own feelings and not those that I believe that others would want to hear. I can’t possibly explain to you the feeling I had after doing the third step. In short, I felt powerful. I truly felt like God was on my side and that I would be able to honestly look at myself, my character defects and shortcomings, in such a way that they would be useful in my ongoing quest for Spirit. And, let’s face it, that is what this is all about for me, forming a true relationship with my Spirit. All of the books I have written, this podcast, my experience in the 12 step program,, my relationships with people, and my life itself, have all been about strengthening my relationship with my Spirit.
