In reviewing step 4 with my sponsees recently, I reverted back to the concept
of 'A business taking an inventory' of what is on hand
and what is running low...I asked them to look back over it and
approach from 2 lists of: " I am, - and- Iam not." for example
I found when it comes to things like ' Patience' and ' listening'
(Two of my less developed qualities-)
there has been a slow, incremental improvement !
I find, my patience and listening skills have increased from
60-65% to 70-75% . More patience, more available, for longer
lenghths of time...My irritability is less- my tolerance, acceptance,
are better. These are all based on a daily reprieve- working the steps
and principles of AA.
I cannot wait to see what they come up with ! Nia
