Revised Step 10
"We continued to monitor our physical health, psychological state, and social interactions, promptly acknowledging imbalances or inconsistencies with our chosen recovery goals and values."
? Meaning and Breakdown
Original Step 10:
"Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."
This updated version expands “inventory” to include physical, mental, and social aspects — making it a full-spectrum self-check practice.
✅ "We continued to monitor our physical health..."
- Wellness is foundational to recovery.
- This includes sleep, diet, movement, rest, and medical needs.
How to do it: Notice if you're pushing too hard or neglecting basic self-care.
✅ "...psychological state..."
- Our emotions and thought patterns shift constantly.
- Staying mentally aware helps prevent impulsive or destructive reactions.
How to do it: Use mindfulness, journaling, or reflection tools. Ask, “Am I reacting or responding?”
✅ "...and social interactions..."
- Are your connections helping or hurting?
- Relationships reflect your growth — or your struggles.
How to do it: Look at your tone, honesty, and behavior in daily communication. Did you show up with integrity?
✅ "...promptly acknowledging imbalances or inconsistencies..."
- The goal is early correction, not self-judgment.
- Spot a misstep? Adjust it.
How to do it: When something feels off, pause. Admit it. Reset.
✅ "...with our chosen recovery goals and values."
- Your recovery is personal. Let your values guide you.
How to do it: Regularly revisit your values. Are your actions aligned?
?️ How to Practice Step 10 Daily
- Create a Daily Ritual: Morning or evening check-ins work great.
- Stay Curious, Not Critical: Use observation instead of judgment.
- Adjust Quickly: Address problems early to prevent relapse cycles.
- Use Recovery Tools: Journals, apps, sponsors, therapy, or meetings.
- Reconnect With Your Why: Stay aligned with your deepest values.
? Key Insights
- Step 10 Is Ongoing Maintenance: It keeps recovery real and grounded.
- Balance = Stability: Your body, mind, and social life all affect each other.
- Awareness is Power: When you notice, you can choose. That’s freedom.
? Final Thought
This step is your daily compass. It keeps you aligned with your purpose, values, and growth. Recovery becomes a way of living — not just something you’re surviving.
