Step Ten is a maintenance step and for me, has to be worked not just morning and night but all through the day. As I grew accustomed to working this Step, I was able recognize and become aware of when I was acting out in old patterns and behaviours, stop and look at what was going on, look at what I needed to do to change and follow it with action. Part of that action was making amends to those who I harmed as a result of my actions and amends to myself for beating myself up and promising myself not to continue practising self-abuse for being less than my expectations, that of others, assumed or real.
I have never written things out this step, although I look at posting here as a way of looking at my day and sharing my feelings. Also, when I go to a meeting, it gives me a big spiritual awareness of what is and of what isn't working in my life in today.
