What Can I Surrender in this Step?

• Fear of sharing my inventory with another human being

这一步我需要放下什么：害怕与别人分享我的清单。

STEP SUMMARY 步骤概述

Have you ever noticed that the Fifth Step doesn’t say that we just admit our wrongs? It says that we admit the EXACT NATURE of our wrongs, so we need to do more than just confess what we did. We also need to see WHY we did what we did so that we can ask God to help us with it.

你有没有注意到，第五步并不是说我们只是承认错误？它说的是要我们承认错误的本质，所以我们需要做的不仅仅是承认我们所做的。我们也需要明白我们为什么要这样做，这样我们就可以请求上帝帮助我们。

It’s obvious why we share our inventory with another person – because we are MASTERS at believing in our own justifications and half-truths. Aren’t we the ones who used to say we didn’t have a drinking problem? Didn’t we tell ourselves over and over that we were doing fine as we were sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of alcoholism? Since we’re not good judges of character, especially our own, we must confide in someone else. Only ANOTHER person can see us as we REALLY are. That’s why it says that a SOLITARY self-appraisal is insufficient.

很明显，为什么需要我们与别人分享我们的清单——因为我们是相信自己的判断和片面真理的大师。我们不是经常说我们没有酗酒问题吗？当我们在酗酒的深渊中越陷越深的时候，难道我们不是一遍又一遍地告诉自己，我们做得很好吗？因为我们不能很好的判断人的品格，尤其是我们自己的性格，所以我们必须向别人吐露真实的自己。只有别人可以看到真实的我们。这就是为什么它说孤独的自我评价是不够的。

The purpose of this Step is to help ease the anxiety, depression and irritability of hiding the worst parts of us. We are able to rid ourselves of isolation and loneliness. If we don’t report to someone on our shortcomings, we become God in our own lives as we did when we drank! THIS is the exact nature of our wrongs: We thought we were God – We thought we were in charge.

这一步的目的是帮助缓解隐藏在我们里面的焦虑，抑郁和易怒，这也是我们里面比较糟糕的一部分。我们能够摆脱孤立和孤独。如果我们不向别人说出我们的缺点，我们就会在自己的生活中成为神，就像我们在喝酒的时候一样！这就是我们错误的本质：我们认为我们是上帝——认为我们是自己的主宰。

“What we used to be like” is not described in a “drunkalogue” (as it’s commonly referred to but listed nowhere in our first 164). It is described best in the reasons for our spiritual disobedience that led to our alcoholism (“12 & 12” p.174). It is when we lay out all of the defects of character that block us from our happiness (and from God as we understand God).

“我们过去是什么样的”不是在“醉酒狂饮”中所描述的（醉酒狂饮通常被提及，但在之前164页中没有列出）。这在我们灵性的不顺服导致我们酗酒的原因中描述得最好（“12 & 12”页174）。正是当我们列出了所有阻碍我们得到幸福的性格缺陷（以及我们对上帝的理解）。

• “I was fearful –and I drank…”
• “I was resentful – and I drank…”
• “I was selfish – and I drank…”
• “我害怕——所以我可以喝酒……”
• “我心怀怨恨——所以我可以喝酒……”
• “我很自私——所以我酗酒……”

A really effective description of what we used to be like will not list all of the alcohol you drank, or what the consequences of your actions were when you did drink. It will list the many defects of character that had you believe the only solution to your problem WAS to drink.

要想真正有效地描述我们过去的生活，不是列出你喝过的所有酒，也不是列出你喝酒后的行为后果。我们所要列出的是许多性格缺陷，让你觉得解决问题的唯一办法就是喝酒。

Therefore we have no reason not to read our inventory to someone. My relationship with my sponsor reinforces spiritual principles in my life. Every time I read an inventory, I receive the three blessings that are promised in the Fifth Step of the “12 & 12”:

因此，我们没有理由不向别人说出我们的清单。我和我的助帮人的关系进一步巩固了我生活中的灵性原则。每当我阅读清单时，我就会收到“12 & 12”第五步中承诺的三个祝福：

1.) an end to loneliness and a sense of belonging to A.A. (p. 57) 2.) a feeling that I could be forgiven and that I am able to forgive others (p. 58); and 3.) a desire for true humility: a clear recognition of what and who I really am, followed by a sincere attempt to become what I could be (p. 58).

1)结束孤独和对A.A.的归属感（第57页）

2)一种我可以被原谅的感觉，我也能够原谅别人（第58页）；

3)对真正谦卑的渴望：清楚地认识到我到底是什么和谁，然后真诚地尝试成为我能成为的人（第58页）。

5th Step Promises

第五步的承诺

Also it says on page 75 (Big Book 4th Edition) that “Once we have taken this step, withholding nothing, we are delighted.” It goes onto say that seven (7) things will occur…

它还在第75页（大书第4版）说，“一旦我们采取这一步，没有保留，我们很高兴。”据说会发生七件事……

(1) “We can look the world in the eye. 我们可以正视这个世界。 (2) We can be alone at perfect peace and ease. 我们可以在完全平静和轻松的状态下独处。 (3) Our fears fall from us. 我们的恐惧从我们身上消失。 (4) We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator. 我们开始感觉到与造物主亲近。 (5) We may have had certain spiritual beliefs, but now we begin to have a spiritual experience.

我们可能曾经有过某种精神信仰，但现在我们开始有一种精神体验。

(6) The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared will often come strongly.

酗酒问题消失的感觉常常会强烈地出现。

(7) We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe.”

我们感觉自己走在人生的康庄大道上，与宇宙万物连接在一起。

MYTHS ABOUT THIS STEP 有关这一步的误解

It’s not necessary to share your defects with another person—it’s enough that your Higher Power knows. It’s very important to reveal your inventory to another person, so you can receive feedback and experience. You’ll feel a huge weight lifted once you confide in another. This will allow you to move on to Step 6 with humility.

没有必要和别人分享你的缺点，让你的更高力量知道就足够了。向别人透露你的清单是非常重要的，这样你就可以得到反馈和经验。一旦你向别人吐露心声，你会觉得自己释放了很多。这将让你带着谦卑进入步骤六。

THIS STEP’S INVENTORY 这一步盘点

Taking a step displays a willingness to write inventory and allow it to surrender something within us. Write inventory on your most serious shortcomings around the practical application of this step in your life today (“How am I applying the principle found in this Step to every moment of my life?”).

做这一步，表明你愿意写下清单，并允许它放弃我们内心的某些东西。围绕这一步在你今天生活中的实际应用，写下你最严重的缺点清单（“我如何将这一步中发现的原则应用到我生活的每一刻？”）。

Note: It is recommended this inventory be written AFTER you’ve read your 4th Step inventory to another person.

注意：建议在你向另一个人读完你的第四步清单之后再写这份清单。

In Your Personal Relationships: 人际关系方面：

1. Am I now able to forgive others and myself?
2. Am I ready for a sincere attempt to become what I can be?

• 我是否忙于世间的事务，而不把零星成长放在首位？
• 纠正措施(s) ?

At Work: 工作方面

STEP CHECKLIST

2. Do I believe that AA is a safe and supportive environment and that everyone has stories they aren’t proud of?
3. Do I believe it is possible to feel a huge weight lifted once I confide in another?
4. Was I as searching, fearless and thorough as I could be as I wrote my Fourth Step inventory?
5. Is my inventory an honest appraisal of the causes and conditions of my alcoholism?
6. Am I willing to look at who I was as well as who I would like to become?
7. Am I willing to be vulnerable and not hold back?
8. Have I chosen someone I am comfortable sharing with for which to read my inventory?
9. Am I willing to listen to their experience, strength and hope with an open mind?
10. Have I read the contents of my Fourth Step inventory to that person?

步骤检查：

我是否放弃了对过去的保留，并承认我不再担心自己的所作所为会被评判？

我是否相信AA是一个安全和支持性的环境，每个人都有自己不引以为豪的故事？

我是否相信，一旦我向别人吐露心事，我就会感到如释重负？

我在写“第四步清单”的时候，有没有尽我所能去寻找、无畏和彻底？

我的清单是对我酗酒的原因和状况的诚实评估吗？

我是否愿意正视过去的自己和未来的自己？

我愿意脆弱而不退缩吗？

我是否选择了一个我愿意分享的人来阅读我的清单？

我愿意以开放的心态倾听他们的经验、力量和希望吗？

我有没有把第四步清单的内容读给那个人听？
