...and when we were wrong promply admitted it. Second half of step 10
We are human . We make mistakes . This is half the fun of being human. Step 10 clearly tells us what to do when we are wrong: admit it . This keeps us honest. It keeps us from hiding secrets theat could cause us to use alcohol or other drugs again.
Trust is a gift we get from Step ten. When we admit our wrongs, people start to trust us again. we feel good, and people feel good being arond us. Even when they don't like how we act, they can trust us to run our lives. No one will ever be perfect. The closest we get is that we admit it when we're wrong. This is as good as it gets .
Prayer for the day
Higher Power, help me admit my wrongs . Help me earn the trust of others by being honest about my mistakes.
Action for the day
I will list any wrongs I've done today. That way, I'll start tomorrow fresh and without any burdens from today.

I think this is probably one of the hardest things for me. I've been working on admitting when I'm wrong and then trying to change that behavior. Most of the time though I find myself rationalizing what I've done which usually ends in placing the fault with someone else or the situation, whatever. I really like your action of the day though. For me things are always more real if I've written them down. Maybe if I do this it will help me to stop rationalizing my behavior and start taking responsibility for my own actions.

I have sort of a problem related to that, I know when I'm wrong, I accept I'm wrong, but I can not stop thinking about it, or blaming myself for being so stupid, things like that, I have too much paranoia related to these things, and we always make mistakes, so I'm always thinking about them, this is something I should work on!
