   "We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
                                admitted it."

                                                                     Step Ten

                           ----=----

   A daily Tenth Step keeps us on a sound spiritual footing.   While each
   member asks different questions, some questions have been found to be
   helpful to almost everyone.  Two key Tenth Step questions are, "Am I
   honestly in touch with myself, my actions, and my motives?   And have I
   prayed for God's will for me and the power to carry it out?"  These
   two questions, answered honestly, will lead us into a more thorough look
   at our day.

   When focusing on our relationships with others, we may ask, "Have I
   harmed anyone today, either directly or indirectly?  Do I need to make
   amends to anyone as a result of my actions today?" We keep it simple in
   our inventory if we remember to ask, "Where was I wrong?  How can I  do
   it better next time?"

   NA members often find that their inventories include other important
   questions.  "Was I good to myself today?  Did I do something for someone
   else and expect nothing in return?  Have I reaffirmed my faith in a loving
   Higher Power?"

   Step Ten is a maintenance step of the NA program.  The Tenth Step helps us
   to continue living comfortably in recovery.

   Just for today:   I  will remember to review my day.  If I have harmed
   another, I  will make amends.    I  will think about how I  can act
   differently.
