Daily 10-11th step Inventory
Posted 12-21-2007 at 11:03 AM by Rob B
I have been using this form for a while, it is from [url]www.aaprimarypurpose.org[/url] This has been a great tool to face and be rid of that which blocks me from the sunlight of the spirit.
10th/ 11th Step Date: _____/_____/_____
The Twelve Nightly Questions [86:1]
Chronology of today’s events:
1. How was I resentful? (if so, do 4-column
inventory)
2. How was I selfish (i.e. egotistical, self-seeking)?
3. How was I dishonest?
4. How was I afraid?
5. Do I owe an apology? Who did I help today?
6. What have I wrongly kept secret?
7. Was I unkind (i.e. cruel, harsh, unfeeling)? What did I accomplish today?
8. Was I unloving (i.e. cold, unresponsive, indifferent)?
9. What could I have done better? What I am grateful for today?
10. Was I thinking of myself most of the time?
11. Was I thinking of what I could do for others? Who needs my prayers today?
12. Was I thinking what I could pack into the stream of life?
But we are careful not to drift into worry, remorse, or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After making our review we ask God’s forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken We say a Prayer:
“God, please forgive me for my failings today. I know that because of my failings I was not able to be as effective as I could have been for you. Please forgive me and help me live thy will better tomorrow. Father, I ask that you now show me how to correct the errors I have just outlined. Guide me and direct me. Please remove my arrogance and my fear. Show me how to make my relationships right, and grant me the humility and strength to do Thy will. Amen.”

I do this same thing Rob. Almost verbatim, I have this in a word document. On the front page, I have some morning prayers & meditation. I write on paper what I feel God's will is for the day. At the close of my day, I review the 12 questions and conclude that with prayer. I've been keeping these in hard copy in a binder. It's been interesting looking at my willingness from day to day and where I see that I still have opportunities for growth. Good stuff. PM me if you want an electronic copy.Posted 01-19-2009 at 10:42 AM by PaulN
- Nice. I like that. I usually do this without writing it out. I will use this form for a while and see how it goes.Posted 05-01-2009 at 02:34 PM by McGowdog

Inspiring Stuff!
I liked your comments here Paul to Rob's blog entry. I couldn't leave you a message in your profile as I haven't posted enough messages 'yet'. I am a neophyte in this area 10th/11th steps. You guys inspire me to increase my efforts. Thanks!Posted 07-10-2009 at 01:54 PM by geothinkah
