Default Taking Other People's Inventory

Quote:
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

The word "ourselves" is the key word (for many of us in Al-Anon!
Ourselves mean, We as members, not me and my A and my friends.

Quote:
"Our Inventory"
"Putting out of our minds the wrongs others had done, we resolutely looked for our own mistakes. Where had we been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking and frightened? Though a situation had not been entirely your fault, we tried to disregard the other person involved entirely. Where were we to blame? The inventory was ours, not the other man's. When we saw our faults we listed them. We placed them before us in black and white. We admitted our wrongs honestly and were willing to set these matters straight." AA's How It Works, pg. 67
It is about taking my inventory, just like a business takes inventory once a year to see what is in stock.
