When I come across Step Ten, which I am doing now, I always see that I never work it to it's full potential. I don't get all the Power that is available from doing it the way it is written. It always seemed like I was leaving some part out.

For the first 6 years, I did an Inventory every 2 years because I was evolving and changing. Then I did face to face work with therapists. I went a while without a sponsor because the one I had wasn't willing to go through the Steps with me. I have a new one and we hope to find some time to get together. She is a busy lady. She has been out on the golf course this summer and had visits from her family and she goes to see them in California. We hope to work on the Blueprints to Progress from Al-Anon together. I had a woman in AA with 26 years of sobriety at the time say she thought it was one of the best Step 4s to be had. I have always done it with the Big Book in early recovery.

Sam I think the key to Step 10 is to work it all day long, not morning and night. As someone says to me, "What Step are you on?" I say, "Some days all 12."
Ironically, she is heading to California again, and although we have marathon phone calls, we still haven't done the promised Step 4.

Now that I am feeling better, I hope I can find my copy and work on it while she is away for 4 months.

Being ground is so important to finding balance.
