Default Steps 10 and 11

Steps 10 and 11
AT NIGHT WE CONSTRUCTIVELY REVIEW OUR DAY.
REMEMBER: THIS IS EVERY EVENING

Answer Yes of No;

1. Was I angry or resentful today?
2. Was I selfish today? (Excessive thought of self)
3. Was I dishonest today? (Intent to deceive)
4. Was I fearful or afraid today?
5. Do I owe someone an apology?
6. Was I kind and loving toward all today?
7. Have I kept something to myself that should be discussed with another person at once?
8. Was I thinking of myself most of the time?
9. (or) Was I thinking of what I could do for others, of what I could pack into the stream of life?
10. Did I drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflections of the past today?
11. After making this review, have I asked God’s forgiveness?
12. Have I inquired what corrective action should be taken?

(Big Book Page 86)

On the reverse side:

WE CONSIDER OUR PLANS FOR THE DAY
REMEMBER: THIS IS EVERY MORNING

Have I asked God to direct my thinking today, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives?

Have I asked God for freedom from self-will being careful to make no request for myself only? (We may ask for ourselves, however, if others will be helped.)

Following by the Third Step Prayer

Followed by a place for Thank you God for all these things, good and bad

Was just looking at this on another site, glad it is posted here.

To omit Step 10 from our recovery, is a good way to become complacent, and get back into Self instead of being God-Centered.

We drift from others, become isolated, and allow people, places, and things back into our lives to play the 'god' of the day.

Have found since I wrote this that Step Ten can be any time during the day, I don't have to wait until bedtime. With me bedtime can be any time.

As they say, Step Ten is a maintenance Step. It helps me maintain my mental, emotional, spiritual and physical sobriety throughout the day. I can come to a place in my day where I am at dis-ease with myself, that is when I have to turn to my God.

The As in my life aren't the only ones with a disease. As the slogan says, "Let it begin with me." It isn't about them, it is about me and my recovery.

Not disagreeing at all , but I like to think of Steps 10,11 and 12 more as ENHANCEMENT Steps

That too, certainly growth Steps if you want sobriety, not just being clean and sober.
