This is where I see step 10 In short, we practice opposites, when fear tells you to turn back; you go forward and face it. When resentment starts justifying its presence, just look at your defects, and look at your perceptions and your reactions. When the past re- emerges it self, as it will and guilt bites at you again, say “my Higher power has forgiven me, this is old stuff.” so don’t believe those guilty thoughts, look for the good, think, “That was then, this is now”. Things from the past will pop into our mind at the strangest of times. Just write it down and look at it, just as you did in steps 4 and 5. When the depressing feelings come back, say, “You have been here before, I turn all this over to God my shelter." Now do your best to do your best and leave it at that.

As we continue to take personal inventory, we reflect on all the knowledge and wisdom that we've acquired through working the previous Steps. Every day becomes an adventure, as we strive to achieve what is good and right for ourselves and others. Our new and true inner voice directs our every step on our march towards everlasting joy, peace of mind, and personal freedom. We come to realize that all of our experiences have led us to this point, and that we are precisely where we're supposed to be right now. Righteous living, integrity, honesty, and positive motivation become a way of life. We start to become more secure in our recovery, and we start to appreciate the foundation that we've built.
