When I did my 5th step, I did it with my therapist. At that time, I wasn't ready for anyone (even my sponsor) to know my history. I had such a fear of doing my 5th step with my anyone who could gossip, that it really prevented me from doing a thorough 4th step. My therapist couldn't because of doctor/patient privilege and that eased my mind and with that I did a thorough 4th step.
The 5th step states "we admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs", it leaves it open and up to us as to exactly who that other human being can be.
