Fear of the Fourth Step

Page 141

"As we approach this step, most of us are afraid that there is a monster inside of us that, if released, will destroy us."

Basic Text, p. 27

Most of us are terrified to look at ourselves, to probe our insides. We're afraid that if we examine our actions and motives, we'll find a bottomless black pit of selfishness and hatred. But as we take the Fourth Step, we'll find that those fears were unwarranted. We're human, just like everyone else-no more, no less.

We all have personality traits that we're not especially proud of. On a bad day, we may think that our faults are worse than anyone else's. We'll have moments of self-doubt. We'll question our motives. We may even question our very existence. But if we could read the minds of our fellow members, we'd find the same struggles. We're no better or worse than anyone else.

We can only change what we acknowledge and understand. Rather than continuing to fear what's buried inside us, we can bring it out into the open. We'll no longer be frightened, and our recovery will flourish in the full light of self-awareness.

Just for Today: I fear what I don't know. I will expose my fears and allow them to vanish.

Step - Tradition - Concept

Fifth Step
We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Fifth Tradition
Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.

Fifth Concept
For each responsibility assigned to the service structure, a single point of decision and accountability should be clearly defined.
