Step #10 – Spiritual Upkeep (part 3)
Manage episode 472870544 series 2925012
So, my friends, in this final part of step number 10, I would just like to talk about the last part of step, namely, when I was wrong, promptly admitted it. As a reminder for those of you who may be new, the 10th step is, I continued to take personal inventory, and when I was wrong promptly admitted it.
What I have to keep in mind as I do this step every day, is the last part of the ninth step, which says, except when to do so would injure them or others. It would be easy for me to seem like some kind “of holy roller”, and walk up to a crowd of friends, and say to one of them, “Hey, sorry I mentioned that ‘ blankety-blank’thing that you did the other day!”.
For me the big thing is to try to take a mini inventory each night (or sometimes more often) and do the best I can, if I find I have done something wrong, to try to make it right. As I said it beginning this series of episodes, starting with 10th step, these are the maintenance steps. I have already done the work necessary in order to get a good start in cleaning up the wreckage of the past. Thank you God! Now, my goal is to keep my humanity free and clear of any new shortcomings and character defects, including those old one that would like to once again rear their ugly heads.
