“We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.”
It’s time to focus on the principles of honesty, perseverance/self-discipline and integrity.
Nobody every really enjoys admitting to being wrong…it’s much easier to blame others. Admitting when we are wrong and promptly being accountable for our behavior is necessary to maintain progress in your healing journey.
As an intimacy anorexic, it’s critical to be willing to release selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, or fear as you’re taking personal inventory. Practicing Step Ten will help keep you aware of yourself and your patterns of withholding long before they take hold.
Here are some questions to ask yourself regarding personal inventory:
* Are there times in my life when I am confused about the difference between my feelings and my actions? Write about this.
* Have there been some times in my recovery when I’ve been wrong and not aware of it until later? What were they?
* How do my “wrongs” affect my own life? Others’ lives?
* Why is a Tenth Step even necessary? What is the purpose of continuing to take personal inventory?
* What does promptly admitting you were wrong mean- to you?
