What Solves Fear?



Step We Are On: Four

Page: 68

Chapter: 5 "How It Works"

Subject: Resentment Inventory, Fear, Self reliance

Good morning. We are going through the columns of the 4th step directions. We are looking at fear and learning how disastrous it is to rely upon one’s self.
  • Does self-reliance have anything to do with it?
Wasn't it because self-reliance failed us?



  • How good is self-reliance?
Self-reliance was good as far as it went, but it didn't go far enough.

  • What did some of us once have?
Some of us once had great self-confidence,



  • What did it solve?
but it didn't fully solve the fear problem, or any other.



  • What made it worse?
When it made us cocky, it was worse.
We ought to be getting the idea that “self” doesn’t do such a good job of managing things.  Being fearful has much to do with where we place our reliance.
