3 Step Four: Made a fearless and searching inventory of ourselves. 4th STEP Need help? Ask another AA er ~ Pray ~ Read these ~ Follow instructions WHEN IN DOUBT (p.13 BB) "I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me. Never was I to pray for myself, except as my requests bore on my usefulness to others. Then only might I expect to receive. But that would be in great measure." (p.13 BB) WHEN I AM DISTURBED BY THE CONDUCT (SYMPTOMS) OF OTHERS (p. 67 BB) "This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to him? God save me from being angry. Thy will be done." God help me to show this person the same tolerance, pity and patience that I would Cheerfully grant a sick friend. This is a sick person, how can I be helpful to him? God save me from being angry. Thy will be done. (see above and p. 141 of 12&12) WHEN I AM AFRAID (P. 68 & 69 BB) "We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be." God, relieve me of this fear and direct my attention to what you would have me be. WHEN I AM AWARE OF MY OWN DEFECTS AND SEEKING GOD'S HELP TO CHANGE (p. 69 BB) "We asked God to mold our ideals and help us to live up to them... we ask God what we should do about each specific matter." God mold my ideals in this particular area of my life and help me to live up to them. What should I do in each specific matter? Guide me God and give me strength to do right.. More help when preparing for Step Four: From the book Daily Reflections Similarly, my false pride always kept me overly concerned about my reputation. Since being enlightened in the A.A. program, my aim is to improve my character. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 44 When I uncovered my need for approval in the Fourth Step, I didn't think it should rank as a character defect. I wanted to think of it more as an asset (that is, the desire to please people). It was quickly pointed out to me that this "need" can be very crippling. Today I still enjoy getting the approval of others, but I am not willing to pay the price I used to pay to get it. I will not bend myself into a pretzel to get others to like me. If I get your approval, that's fine; but if I don't, I will survive without it. I am responsible for speaking what I perceive to be the truth, not what I think others may want to hear.
