Ive cleared up most of the things in my past with Steps 4-9. Step 10 is checking my progress by asking myself several questions...How am I feeling today? Why am I feeling this? What can I do to change this? Which defects am I acting on? "We form a habit of looking at ourselves, our actions, attitudes and relationships on a regular basis"..."We Examine our actions during the day"..."We list what we have done"...(Step 10, page 41,42 NA Basic Text)...Its important to also list our assets...We've been beating ourselves up to much in our addiction so balance is important in Recovery...Step 10 is Steps 4 through 9 in the moment..or past 24 Hours etc...Some people do a daily, weekly, or monthly inventory. As long as "We Continued To Take Personal Inventory" We spot check our feelings, motives, and actions..."And When We Were Wrong Promptly Admitted It" This can be a hard pill to swallow, but if I want to continue to progress its a must.....I need to make some serious changes in my life.......These defects use to help me in the past, but in recovery they hurt me.....With Gods help we have made it this far for a reason and have some experience with Steps 1-10...Courage, Willingness, Honesty, Faith, Integrity, Humility, Openmindedness, Forgiveness, Surrender, Acceptance, Tolerance, Trust, Discernment, ands Love are some Principles we have been practicing in Our Program of Recovery. With This we move on to Step 11...

Met up with my sponsor we went over Traditions 6 and 7. We spoke for almost 4 hours. We pretty much spoke on Steps 10-12. Basically defects, shortcomings, character flaws, or sins. Call it what you want to but it boils down to one thing....We are not perfect and its a process of learning. I have issues seeing the difference between mental health issues i.e. bi-polar from my defects of character. But Im learning. Thanks, Peter F
