DID YOU KNOW STEP 10 HELPS US CATCH THINGS BEFORE THEY BECOME BIGGER PROBLEMS?
“Continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.”
Recovery isn’t about never getting it wrong again.
We’re still going to have moments when we react instead of respond.
We’re going to say things we shouldn’t.
Old habits and attitudes may try to creep back in.
Pride, resentment, fear, anger, or control can show up before we even realize it.
That’s why Step 10 matters.
Instead of letting something sit for days, weeks, or months… we deal with it.
We ask ourselves:
Where was I wrong?
What do I need to own?
Is there an apology I need to make?
Is there something I need to bring to God instead of carrying it?
Step 10 teaches us that admitting we were wrong isn’t weakness.
It’s growth.
We don’t have to be perfect to keep moving forward… we just have to stay honest and willing to make things right.
“Therefore, let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD.”
Lamentations 3:40
