We believe there is a source more powerful than us. It might be within me, the universe or a deity we understand. Whatever, wherever, whomever, we just know there is a source more powerful than us. We turn control of people, places and things over to this source.
We make a table with four columns. In the first column, we make a list of the people, places and things for which we hold a resentment. In the second column, we write out what each of these has done to earn our resentments. For the third column, we write what it affects. The final column is to be done with a coach. Then we do the same columns around sex- who have we wronged. Then we make a list of our fears.
Tell another human being everything from Level 2 and anything left out. Any secrets need to come out during this. We can’t have anything bottled up that causes us shame or embarrassment.
Next, place them into categories of Pride, Jealousy, Anger, Lust, Greed, Sloth and Gluttony.
They have become familiar to us and may cause harm, but at the same time difficult to give up. Here, we ask our higher source to take them away. This is followed up by action steps required to let them go.
Write a list of the people we harmed and what we did. Apologize to them unless it would injure them or others.
Write three good things you did that day and three not so good things you did. Did you apologize when you should have? Practice the lessons you have learned in these levels in everything you do.
