One must move forward and not delay to the 4th step. The first 3 steps freed us of the self made bonds of our addiction, now is the time to find out who we are, what we have done, and what our responsibilities were.
Charlie has the best analogy, if you don’t inventory a business then the store fills up with old, outdated and un-sellable goods. Sound familiar??
Facing our actions then and who we were; Allows us to change and become the best of what we are.
