Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Step Ten, Alcoholics Anonymous
Questions from the Contents page in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions:
Can we stay sober and keep emotional balance under all conditions? Self-searching becomes a regular habit. Admit, accept, and patientlyc orrect defects. Emotional hangover. When past is settled with, present challenges can be met. Varieties of inventory. Anger, resentments, jealousy, envy, self-pity, hurt pride - all led to the bottle. Self-restraint first objective. Insurance against "big-shot-ism". Let's look at credits as well as debits. Examination of motives.
Reading Assignment:
Step Ten - Re-Read - Chapter 6 - Into Action (focus on pages 84-85)
Step Ten - Page 88-95 in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
A few questions for focus:
Do I have an attitude of gratitude?
Do I promptly make amends, when necessary?
Do I forgive myself when I have a 'forgetter' day and begin to run on self-will?
Am I making spiritual progress?
