I do not believe step 10 to be another full blown inventory like what you do in step 4. The way I treat it, as I am turning in for the night, I review the days events and see if somewhere along the line I did the wrong thing, or failed to carry AA principles inmy affairs that day.

How long do you do this? Forever. There is no step that says "Congratulations, you have graduated, don't let the doorknob hit you in the a$$".

Or as a buddy of mine says, there is no step that says "And then were-gained power over alcohol".
