Step 4

"Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."

This one's been hard. I've been struggling with it for over a month but about a week ago I finally met with my sponsor to go over the list I'd made of those I'd felt had wronged me and the part I played in those wrongs.

I found a common theme in all of them. I felt abandoned. I felt disconnected. I accepted my part by realizing I withheld myself from those I thought had kept something from me. "That'd teach them."

While what they did truly did hurt me, I have to accept my part in it. There are always two sides and I've got to be accountable if I'm ever going to be able to move past these wrongs done me, forgive both the others and myself, and heal.
