Stephanie, an abstinent compulsive overeater, and Nancy, a gratefully recovering and abstinent compulsive eater, host this workshop on OA’s Fourth Step: “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.”
For Discussion and Journaling:
- Do I have reservations about starting a Fourth Step? What are they? How can God help me do this step?
- Am I hanging on to a grudge or resentment? Do I experience jealousy, envy, or guilt? Am I a perfectionist, or am I overly dependendent?
- What am I willing to do today to start my Fourth Step inventory? What are some of the methods I can use to do a Fourth Step?
