How You Can Begin Working the Inventory Steps Simply With No Fear Today
With Your Head Full of Great Ideas From AA
Are you ready to do your inventory with no fear? It’s about time that we discussed Steps 4 and 5. So many people in the program, both newer and older, avoid passing the 3rd Step.
Many have been in the program for X number of weeks, months, and even years in some instances. Yet, they are perfectly happy with the first three steps.
