Don't Wait Until You're Comfortable

A SAYING THAT I have been hearing around quite a few of the AA tables is "Wait until you're comfortable," in reference to the working of certain Steps--particularly the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth. These "Into Action" Steps seem to be frightening to some people, and I must admit that they were to me. However, I did not become as comfortable as I am on this program without being very uncomfortable while working these Steps.
