I did a Fourth Step early in recovery. It was as thorough as I could make it. And yet eventually it was time to work another one, and another one after that. As important as it was to do it the first time, a few years later I found that there was more for me to see.

At work, I often find myself confused about how to relate to others and in need of clarity. A quick Fourth Step is usually a pretty good way to get some relief. Even if I can’t see everything right now, I can at least make an effort.

Today, if I’m struggling with interactions at work, I will ask my Higher Power to guide me in inventorying my thoughts and actions. I know from experience that this Power is willing to help me, and always deals with me lovingly. If I ask, I will receive just enough light to see what I need to see today.
