THROUGHOUT EACH DAY

Daily Reflections - OCTOBER 16

This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime.  ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84

During my early years in A. A. I saw Step Ten as a suggestion that I periodically look at my behavior and reactions. If there was something wrong, I should admit it; if an apology was necessary, I should give one. After a few years   of   sobriety   I   felt   I  should   undertake   a   self- examination more frequently. Not until several more years of sobriety had elapsed did I realize the full meaning of Step Ten, and the word "continued." "Continued" does not mean occasionally, or frequently. It means throughout each day.
