Tenth Step inventory

We continued, on a daily basis, to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

Step Ten

A daily Tenth Step keeps us on a sound spiritual footing. While each member asks different questions, some questions have been found to be helpful to almost everyone. Two key Tenth Step questions are, "Am I honestly in touch with myself, my actions, and my motives? And have I prayed for God's will for me and the power to carry it out?" These two questions, answered honestly, will lead us into a more thorough look at our day.

When focusing on our relationships with others, we may ask, "Have I harmed anyone today, either directly or indirectly? Do I need to make amends to anyone as a result of my actions today?" We keep it simple in our inventory if we remember to ask, "Where was I wrong? How can I do it better next time?"

Recovery members often find that their inventories include other important questions. "Was I good to myself today? Did I do something for someone else and expect nothing in return? Have I reaffirmed my faith in a loving Higher Power?"

Step Ten is a maintenance step of the recovery program. The Tenth Step helps us to continue living comfortably in recovery.

Just for Today: I will remember to review my day. If I have harmed another, I will make amends. I will think about how I can act differently.

My favorite step. Keeps me honest. Although I am not always the best at it, sometimes I need to be told I hurt someone because in my addiction I had a very narcissistic mind and now I'm just unaware. Step 10 keeps my mind present and aware. Step 10 is for my benefit as well as others. Good post Michael!
