12 Steps of Addiction Recoveryਨਮੂਨਾ

In Step 10 – Confess your sins
We continue to take personal inventory and admit when we are wrong promptly. We strive for ongoing growth and spiritual progress, staying vigilant against old behaviors and attitudes that could lead us back to addiction.
Biblically, this step aligns with the call to live a life of humility and self-awareness. In Proverbs 4:23, we are reminded to "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." This means staying alert and aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and continually seeking God's guidance to keep us on the right path.
While we’ve already gone over this principle, it’s still integral in Step 10 - We are called to confess our sins and seek forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This involves being honest with ourselves, God, and others about our mistakes and seeking to make amends where possible.
To fully embrace Step 10, it is important to continue to take personal inventory regularly and be accountable to others. This can involve seeking the input and feedback of a sponsor or Christian mentor, as well as reflecting on our behavior and making ongoing amends when necessary.
Through this ongoing process of self-reflection and humility, we can continue to grow spiritually and avoid falling back into old patterns of behavior. We can find hope and encouragement in the promise of Philippians 3:13-14, which says, "But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Reflective Questions:
-What patterns of behavior do I need to stay vigilant against?
-Who can I be accountable to in my ongoing recovery journey?
-Have I been honest with myself, God, and others about my mistakes? If not, what steps can I take to seek forgiveness and make amends?
-How can I continue to grow spiritually and pursue God's will for my life?
