Rediscovering the 10th Step--For the First Time

4/9/2018

For years and years in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, the !0th Step was an unknown land for me. Step Nine--drama, struggle, amends, freedom, the Promises! Step Eleven--prayer and meditation, exploration of spirituality; loved it.

​As for Ten, well, it was apologizing when you needed to, right? And making a list of good deeds and bad at night. Or something.

I was good at apologizing, bad at listing up my daily goods and bads. Mostly, I just ignored this Step. Then I discovered that it is 1) confusing (the Big Book and the 12 and 12 don't quite agree about it) and 2) substantial, powerful, and liberating, because it is a kind of mini-version of the whole program. By missing it, I was missing out on a lot.

I'll explore this somewhat-under-appreciated Step when we get together on April 14. See you there.
