Step Four

The dictionary definition of ‘moral’ is ‘truthful’.

Step four is a truthful inventory of ourselves.

Proposed schedule:

This is the last week on Institutions and so enough time for us to finish or at least know what institutions we want to write about.

Next week we are moving onto Principles.

Then there will be four weeks for reading at the workshop anything you want: people, institutions and principles.

Soulwork:

AA 12 x 12 Step Four page 42 from: ‘Creation gave us instincts for a purpose…’ until ‘…When that happens, our great natural instincts, have turned into physical and mental liabilities.’

look up:

tyrannize

instincts

liability

misdirected

2nd para page 42: underline the penultimate sentence:

Nearly every serious emotional problem can be seen as a case of misdirected instinct.

If you have difficulty understanding this, Stephanie suggests reading and re-reading the first two paragraphs on page 42. And say the Third Step and Set Aside Prayers.
