part of fourth step inventory
Here is a brief inventory. The fourth step in the book Alcoholics Anonymous
can be a confusing format for a very confused drunk like myself. The work sheets, and good sponsorship really helped in simplifying my first inventory. I wanted to share some of it with you. For me, what the fourth step did was to put plainly in black and white my participation in the harm itself, and stop justifying the cycle of blame that I kept placing on others. It starts to reveal a level of responsibility, by placing me directly in the harm. Thanks for letting me share it. Harms Other Than Sexual Who did I hurt? What did I do? Affects My: What Feelings Did I Create In Others? Done Instead? Where had I been: Me. 7th Grade Acted like a spoiled brat social instinct anger/behaved inconsiderate of others Foreigner Disrespected his country security bitterness/honored tradition selfish inconsiderate Ms. High School Teacher Told people she shot me the bird ( a lie ) security anger suspicion/shut-up self seeking and frightened/ inconsiderate Little boy Served him alcohol to drink by accident social fear and suspicion/been careful. owned up. dishonest inconsiderate Little girl (daughter of a woman I dated) Gave her the cold shoulder security suspicion bitterness/been kind selfish inconsiderate Mom Begged for money security all the above/waited for my paycheck self seeking and frightened/ dishonest Dad Drank and drugged while working for him social all the above/obeyed laws of the commonwealth dishonest Grandfather Was never around for him at all social/insecure jealousy neglect/ spent more time with him selfish Grandmother Took advantage of her security suspicion/showed respect self seeking and frightened Company #1 Drank too much and did drugs at work social jealousy/self-restraint at work. maturity. selfish, inconsiderate, dishonest Bill Took his drugs from him security anger bitterness/left his drugs alone self seeking and frightened, selfish, dishonest Company #2 Stole household items social, security suspicion bitterness/not stole selfish Hotel Stole their booze while employed social, security suspicion bitterness/not stole selfish, inconsiderate Unknown women Looked upon them sex fear/self-restraint selfish and inconsiderate Me. 37-40.
