Step Ten: We continue to take personal inventory, and when we are wrong, promptly admit it.
Once a Cachaholic, always a Cachaholic? It is an ongoing issue, my friend. Now comes the test: can we stay a Cachaholic while keeping balance in the rest of our lives? It is an honest question with a difficult answer. The wise know that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, to admit and accept what he finds, and then patiently and persistently tries to correct any wrongs. Because we all know we JUST LOOKED THERE. If we fall and fail, the next day leaves us with the emotional hangover: a direct result of yesterday's and sometimes today's excesses. Sometimes we just need to look for progress, not for perfection.
My friend, there is no need to wander around aimlessly as you have in the past. Step Ten is something you do over and over, until it becomes habit - and thus very easy. For you have worked hard.........and there are only two more steps to go.
