Step 4 — Moral Inventory – Joe C. – 4th Sex List – 1998 – Session 27
About This Speaker Tape
Joe C. tears into the storeroom of guilt and remorse surrounding the sexual inventory. He contrasts human self-will with the animal kingdom, noting he's never seen a cow on a psychiatrist's couch.
He recalls the bad intel gathered at the Jenkins Cafe in West Tulsa and the clash between those who view sex as a dirty thing and those on a "straight pepper diet" of excess. Using a five-column sheet, Joe dismantles the myth of "John Wayne-ism," realizing he wasn't "over sex" but "under secure," using the act to buy material security or a fragile sense of worth. By identifying these sicknesses, the guilt begins to lift.
He argues that the only way to quiet the "horny condition" and avoid the drink is to stop using people for self-esteem and instead focus on the needs of others, leaving the final judgment to a Higher Power.
