Big Book

The "Tenth Step" in 12-step programs emphasizes the importance of ongoing self-reflection and accountability. Participants are encouraged to take a daily inventory of their thoughts and actions, identifying any wrongs or shortcomings as they arise.
This proactive approach helps individuals remain mindful of their behavior and fosters personal growth. If wrongs are identified, the step encourages making amends promptly. By incorporating this practice into their daily lives, participants can maintain their recovery, cultivate emotional stability, and prevent old habits from resurfacing.

"It's easy to abandon the spiritual action plan and rest on our laurels.

If we do this, serious troubles await us, because alcohol is a cunning adversary. We have not recovered from alcoholism. What we have achieved is the suspension of punishment, the condition of which is the nurturing of spirituality. Every single day is for realizing God's will in our actions. 'How can I best serve You? Your will be done, not mine.'

These thoughts must constantly accompany us. This way, we can also exercise our willpower to the desired extent. This is the correct application of will."
[Anonymous Alcoholics, pp. 79-80.]
