August 26 Tenth Step inventory
"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.
