“Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? … But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others.” (Page 86, Big Book)
The Book asks us whether we were these things but does not enquiry further or ask for such items to be elaborated upon in triplicate. These are not to be detailed and gone over again. Step Eleven at night is not an invitation to fish in the bin for every used tissue one blew one’s nose into and threw away in order to examine it, peering, sniffing, and calling others over to look at it and marvel. After all, these questions have already been dealt with during the day in Step Ten. Once is enough.
The job of the Step Eleven review is to take the trash out and identify measures to make myself less susceptible to colds.
