RESTING PLACE
All of AA 's Twelve Steps ask us to go contrary to our natural desires ... They all deflate our egos. When it comes to ego deflation, few Steps are harder to take than Five. But scarcely any Step is more necessary to longtime sobriety and peace of mind than this one. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 55
After writing down my character defects, I was unwilling total about them, and decided it was time to stop carrying this burden alone. I needed to confess those defects to someone else. I had read—and been told—I could not stay sober unless I did. Step Five provided me with a feeling of belonging, with humility and serenity when I practiced it inky daily living. It was important to admit my defects of character in the order presented in Step Five: 'to God, to ourselves and to another human being.' Admitting to God first paved the way for admission to myself and to another person. As the taking of the Step is described, a feeling of being at one with God and my fellow man brought me to arresting place where I could prepare myself for the remaining Steps toward a full and meaningful sobriety.
