S2 | EP 19 - Step 10 Daily Inventory

Welcome to The Wake and Sober Podcast! A podcast about Life in Recovery through Christ! 

On this weeks episode we talk about Step 10, Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 

Were finally to the "Maintenance Steps" of our Step Series. In order to maintain our recovery/sobriety and continue to improve daily we must take personal inventory through out the day to hold ourselves accountable for anything we might have done that exhibits old behaviors. 

This is a great practice to go over with our sponsors or counselors to make these mistakes tangible in hopes to process and move forward in a healthy and appropriate manner. 

 

We appreciate all of your support and as always...

We hope you enjoy the show!

 

Takeaways

Daily inventory involves taking stock of one's thoughts, feelings, and actions for the day and promptly admitting any wrongdoing. Gratitude and mindfulness play a crucial role in the 10th step process, helping individuals recognize their blessings and be more aware of their actions. Implementing daily inventory can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life by promoting self-awareness, responsibility, and accountability. Using guided journals and journal prompts can be helpful for those new to journaling and daily inventory. Regularly practicing daily inventory can prevent relapse and help individuals grow in their recovery journey.

 

 

A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that?

The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument?

We think you do, and so does the sponsor of the Awake and Sober Podcast Tactile Turn.  If you have yet to use a Tactile Turn pen, let's be honest: are you even writing?!?
