When I began Step 4, I had two different forms to fill out. I started on one, got stuck and quit. Same problem when I tried the other. Put them away. Did began once more several months later, same results. And again, and again. Sections were finished, parts were blank, some were partly done! A total mess. I was so afraid to not be exactly perfect in my task and the pain was excruciating.

I forgot the one basic need in my new life, God. After a long talk with my HP, I got out the Big Book, pen and paper and sat down at my desk. Many hours later, Step 4 was done!

Leaving God out of my plan was my mistake, with His help all is possible.

In fellowship,
Carol
