“When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 6 · Into ActionWhere it comes from
From the Step 10 and 11 instructions in Chapter 6 — the original nightly review, four questions long.
Today’s reflectionFour quiet questions before sleep: resentful? selfish? dishonest? afraid? Not to grade yourself — to keep short accounts. A nightly review is how small messes stay small instead of compounding into the kind of debt that used to take a drink to ignore. Tonight, run the four questions. Where the answer is yes, plan the correction. Then let the day go.
