"Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it." - Step 10
Today, Step 10, the extension of the Fourth, is a reminder that the self-inventory isn't a one-time shot. Just as the car needs an occasional tune-up, so it goes with our moral fiber. Neglect of the 10th Step risks progress in recovery and consigning us to stagnation. While the Fourth challenges us with self-inventory, we're commanded in the 10th to "promptly admit" when we are wrong. In doing that, we could be sparing ourselves pent-up anger, resentments, fears, frustrations and thoughts of "revenge," none of which has a part in recovery. Today, when I am wrong in anything, I'll admit it and let it go. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2017
