12 Steps in 12 Days: A Look at Step 10 of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.)

General Service Conference approved literature lists Step 10 of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as follows:

“10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.”

During Step 10 we are preparing to embark on a new lifelong adventure and making arrangements to put our A.A. way of life into use. We take responsibility for our actions and take personal inventory on a regular basis. After we have completed Step 10, we can, in good conscious, feel honest regret for harms done and rectify those harms in a healthy and productive manner.
