UNREMITTING INVENTORIES

Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and
fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We
discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if
we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to
someone we can help.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84

The immediate admission of wrong thoughts or actions is a tough
task for most human beings, but for recovering alcoholics like me
it is difficult because of my propensity toward ego, fear and
pride. The freedom the A.A. program offers me becomes more
abundant when, through unremitting inventories of myself, I
admit, acknowledge and accept responsibility for my wrong-doing.
It is possible then for me to grow into a deeper and better
understanding of humility. My willingness to admit when the
fault is mine facilitates the progression of my growth and
helps me to become more understanding and helpful to others.
