Step 10 is probably the most misunderstood, the most underutilised and the most powerful one. It's a secret spiritual weapon. First of all it's a tool for everyday use, even multiple times a day. Most of it happens in just seconds in my thoughts. But it can change a lot.
I already admitted and painfully experienced many times, that my self-will is poisonous to me. But it's impossible to completely get rid of it just by myself. Step Ten is a simple method to accept God's help in this. An impossible struggle turns to quite an easy spiritual hygiene.
When I notice any disturbance of my inner peace, I try to pause and realise, that if not for my selfishness, fear or dishonesty, I wouldn't be struggling. Then I ask God to remove my defects and show me His will, which is simply better than mine. If I caused any damage, I make amends. If possible, I share this situation with someone. Next, I try to be useful to other human beings.
The serenity is back before I know it.
