Currently on Step 4 and am avoiding like the plague. Was isolating for a week or so, but back at meetings now with a desperation like I had when first clean. I know feelings won't kill me, that they'll pass, and all the other cliches. Tell myself every day that quote from Step 1 in the Basic Text. "We knew in our hearts that drugs had the power to turn us into someone we didn't want to be." Just staying clean, one day at a time, no matter what! Love to all!

My first sponsor once said to me "Work your fourth and fifth steps as if a dragon is breathing down on your neck. Don't stay there."
Dalin, that sounds exciting. When do we begin our step work here at the MIP forum? I would love to be a part of this miracle. Please include me in this noble endeavor.

Just DO IT it will take away some of the excuses to use thats what I found it did for me.
I did another one after I relapsed this last time just to clean the slate and get it off my chest, yeah it was out of sync but I had been working on it before I relapsed and there were things in that fourth I needed to discuss with my sponsor.
I still have my fourth step that I did like 8 years ago and looking back on it I have no resentments against anyone that was in the 4th now I am still doing some of the same things thats much is sure ,, I still have most of the defects in my charecter but then maybe I did'nt work other steps to work through things out.
Just get it done and over with things that happened to us that we're ashamed of that we keep locked away will kill us I can talk about anything that happened in my life today I could not before I did a 4th steps.
