Thanks Jim. This is the type of share we never hear about in the rooms. I had the misconception that 10 was something I needed to do at home, at night and only episodically, blah, blah, blah. Cause that's the level of the sharing I always heard. Mark H puts it beautifully......If you find yourself in the middle of the road, and an 18 wheeler is bearing down on you, that's not the time to try and figure out how you got there. The 10th step is about MOVE!!! Now!!! Away from the force. Into power. The 10th step begins the moment my hand hits the doorknob and begin interacting with the world. It gives me clear, precise intructions on how to conduct myself throughout my day. Watch, ask, turn, cease, pause. This is a strict spiritual daily discipline as is 11. If I'm not doing this then I must have a belief system that says either I don't have to do this to stay sober, or I know what the day "at certain times" is gonna look like.
