Balance and Moderation

My compulsive/obsessive personality can tend to do, do, do, without thought of how the consequences of my actions might effect me or the people in my life who are depending on me.

Thank You, Lord, the Tenth Step is my daily reprieve. It's my "check-up from the neck up," so to speak. Through constant analysis of my moment-to-moment decisions, God helps me to stay in His will.

Step Ten: Continue to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

For me, it comes down to "Pray without ceasing." As you might expect, my head goes around and around, and I do have lots of energy to do 12-step work. I am responsible, though, to do first things first.
