The Tenth Step asks us to continue taking our daily personal inventory and promptly admit when we were wrong. The reason we take our personal daily inventory is to prevent the corrective part of this Step. As addicts, we sometimes don't know when we are wrong; we have to work this Step to find out.

We have to examine our actions and reactions. We have to monitor our emotions, feelings and fantasies throughout the day.

When we fall short, we have the opportunity to make the corrections and start our day over again. We can also feel good about our Recovery when we Practice our Spiritual Principles and feel good about ourselves. We show our Gratitude by Thanking God in quiet moments.

At nighttime before bed, we can recall our day and all our interactions with others. After taking our inventory, we are able to see where we fell short.

We can decide if any amends need to be made. If we Practice Spiritual Principles in all our affairs, we will falter less. Overtime, by working Steps and having a constant Conscious Contact with our Higher Power, we are able to see ourselves coming. The Tenth Step has a negative reputation because it adresses being wrong and making Amends.

The Tenth Step is also asking us during that inventory, to look at our Assets and to Practice them in our daily affairs. This daily Practice of our Assets and Spiritual Principles make us better people.
