Questions About the 4th Step Inventory Packet
What is included in the 4th Step Inventory Packet?
Structured worksheets for all three Big Book inventories: the resentment inventory, the fear inventory and the sex inventory, organized as the Big Book instructs for Step Four, plus sections for Steps 6, 8 and 9.
Is this a physical or digital product?
Digital download. You receive a PDF right after purchase. Print it as many times as you need. No shipping required.
Does this follow the AA Big Book method?
Yes. Every worksheet follows the Big Book's Step Four instructions, with quoted text for easy reference.
Can I use this without a sponsor?
The packet is designed to be used with a sponsor who knows the Big Book method. It can be used on your own, but working it with a sponsor gives the best results.
Is there a free Step 4 AA worksheet?
Yes. Download our free one-page Step 4 AA worksheet (PDF) on this page. It covers resentments, fears and sex conduct with Big Book page references. The $12.99 workbook goes deeper, with 33 pages for Steps 4, 6, 8 and 9.
Does it come with the Tabs Kit?
The 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th Step packets are also included in the $39 Tabs Kit and the DIY Big Book Kits.
Buying for a store, intergroup or treatment center?
See our wholesale page. Tiered pricing with a 5-unit minimum.
What are the columns of the 4th Step resentment inventory?
The Big Book's example (4th Edition, pp. 64–65) lists resentments in columns: who or what you resent, the cause, and what it affected, such as self-esteem, security, ambitions or relationships. On p. 67 the reader then looks for their own part. Our workbook follows that layout and adds the fear and sex-conduct inventories.
When do you start the 4th Step?
In the Big Book, the inventory comes right after the Third Step decision, so most sponsors start it once a sponsee has worked Steps One through Three. Work it with your sponsor, who can guide you through the resentment, fear and sex-conduct inventories. Our free one-page worksheet is a simple place to begin; the 33-page workbook goes deeper.
