Thank you. So glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your journey into sponsorship. If you stick with the principles outlined in Chapter 7 of the Big Book and you can't go wrong.
Thank you so much for your guidance on the 4th Step. I especially appreciate that you used the Big Book as your template, and expanded from exactly what was written there. I also appreciate your succinctness, your addition of your personal story at the end, and your professionalism. Much appreciated!
Thank you - taking a gentleman through 4th step today- and although have done many- this makes it so much easier because , of course, it sticks so closely to the Book! Well done! I appreciate it so much!! Bless you !!
@@IllustratedSteps Yes it was better than I usually hear... 😆 My 5th column was a bit different, but it's to much to explain in a text...but overall a very good presentation.
Thank you for this. It is the best guide for being thorough, fearless and honest and demonstrates exactly what the Big Book is outlining in a very practical manner.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with me. I'm new to the rooms of AA and is working on my steps and I found this video very helpful. God bless😊
Powerlessness is the hardest part to accept… the door opens to everything once acceptance begins … thank God for sobriety… if you are a member of AA don’t stop at the steps! Study the traditions and concepts to assure the program stays alive and well for years to come! 🙏
Dont fret over step 4 too much. Step 1 is the most important one. As you continue meeting your AA friends your sobriety will mature and life will improve
Thanks for your interest. Yes, we do have a workshop that covers steps Six through to Step Nine. But, unfortunately we haven't got around to posting here on TH-cam yet. Hopefully we can get that one recorded later this year. If you have an AA home group, the group might like to invite us to do the workshop for you via zoom. We are happy to do that if you'd like. You can contact us via our website illustratedsteps.org/
I refuse to work the steps, especially step 4, with someone I don’t even know, or trust, just to be told everything is MY fault! Then he’d probably share my step 5 with everyone else. I’m a happy, sober, “dry drunk” as far as AA is concerned.
I get triggered w memories flashbacks n emotions when im writing to the point I have to stop.. Dysregulated...then i cant go on...n want to scream or hide...😔😓🙏.
One thing to remember - the 4th Step is not meant to retraumatizing. Move on quickly. Only take the 4th Step once. The joy is in the later steps when we start to change. Hang on to hope. Hope turns to faith after the 5th Step.
It should be completed one column with all names first before move on to the next one., rather done by row. Because you might not change your perspective at once by completing the same row at once. And it is prayers involved for this is a spiritual program, not an intellectual one.
Excellent video. So, so helpful. I am a new sponsor learning how to be most helpful to others doing step work. Thank you!

I keep laughing when he said Jack from the Pub gives me the shits
I've met Jack. He annoys everyone. 😁

Hope turns to faith after the 5th Step.
It should be completed one column with all names first before move on to the next one., rather done by row. Because you might not change your perspective at once by completing the same row at once. And it is prayers involved for this is a spiritual program, not an intellectual one.
This workshop explicitly suggests that we do one column at a time. And it emphasizes the prayers and the spiritual nature of the Step Four.
