Why am i procrastinating doing my 4th step...i cant get motivated ?

Question

AA

Answer 1

Self introspection isn't fun.  No one enjoys doing inventories of any kind.

I suppose that it's just something you have to do and maybe once you get into it, it won't be as daunting a task as you anticipate.

I hope so.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

well my mom is in AA and she completed all of her steps (if i could i would ask her, but shes asleep sorry) well i would just call your sponsor and talk it over, and if i were you, i would just work on it and set small goals for youself, and before you know it, you'll be on your way to step 5 and above :)

Answer 3

Douglas everyone I have ever known has been stopped by the 4th. it is not easy after so many year of lying to ourselves and others to be honest and critical of ourselves. Just take you time and write thing down as you think about them.

When you are done with 5, it is like a huge weight as been lifted off, and you will be free of the guilt.  

Answer 4

Step 4 - it's difficult for everyone.

You may not be motivated because you really don't wnat to look at this.

Some people find it easier to start by making a list of all the people that have harmed or hurt them - and getting that out of your system first.

Other than that, talk to your sponsor. And some large areas have meetings just for 4th step, since it is so difficult for so many.
