“We continue to take an inventory. We don't do that just once. And the once is going to take time. In some of the recovery programs, they give a month to step four. They give a month to each of these. But it may take three months for me to really dig deep and to be honest with myself and to be fearless in looking at my shortcomings and my failures and what goes on.”
