MORE STEP TEN:

~

Step Ten says: "Continued to take personal inventory and when we
were wrong promptly admitted it." It does not suggest that we
ignore what is right in our life.

When we take an inventory, we will want to look for many things.
We can search out feelings that need our attention. We can look for
old ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

But a critical part of our inventory can focus on what we're doing
right and all that is good around us.

Part of our problem is an obsessive focus on what's wrong. In
recovery we're learning to focus on what is right.

What did you do right today? Did you behave differently today
than you would have a year ago? Did you reach out to someone and
allow yourself to be vulnerable? You can compliment yourself for
that.

Did you have a bad day but dealt effectively with it? Did you
practice gratitude and acceptance? Did you take a risk, own your
power, or set a boundary?

Did you take time for prayer or meditation? Did you trust the
God of your understanding?

Even on our worst days, we can find one thing we did right. We
can find one thing to feel hopeful about. We can focus realistically
on visions of what can be.
