We shall look for progress, not for perfection.
Imagine navigating the ups and downs of recovery with a tool that helps you stay grounded and honest. In this episode of '12 Steps of Recovery', the focus is on Step 10: continuing personal inventory and promptly admitting when you're wrong. The host, Ilya, shares his candid experiences, revealing how this step has been crucial in his journey to sobriety.
He discusses the importance of self-awareness and the role of personal inventory in keeping emotions like excitement in check, which could otherwise lead to relapse. Ilya emphasizes that all the steps are interconnected, and Step 10 is about measuring your progress by comparing your old self to your new self. This involves regularly doing a 'resentment inventory' and seeking feedback from a sponsor or trusted individual for an objective perspective.
One key takeaway is the idea of focusing on progress rather than perfection. While achieving perfect self-restraint and honest analysis every time might be impossible, training yourself to step back and think before reacting is essential. Ilya also highlights the importance of compassion and tolerance for others, which can only be cultivated through daily practice of the steps. Forget the 'fake it till you make it' approach; honesty about your progress and defects is vital for genuine transformation.
This episode serves as a practical guide for anyone committed to breaking free from addiction and striving for a fulfilling life of sobriety. Tune in to gain insights into how Step 10 can help you stay on track in your recovery journey.
