The Chairman Takes Inventory

"Do you know, I caught myself taking another guy's inventory this morning," laughed the Chairman as he opened the regular weekly closed meeting. "And that of course is not the purpose of the Fourth Step. . .We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Period! Not the other guy." He paused to light a cigarette. "Perhaps we'd better take an inventory of this Step tonight and see what factors enter into the making of an honest inventory."
