This specific process, detailed in Alcoholics Anonymous literature, involves a regular, introspective review of one’s actions and a prompt amends for any wrongdoing. A dedicated text provides guidance and context for this practice. For instance, if someone realizes they were impatient with a colleague, they would actively seek to rectify that behavior.
This continual self-reflection and corrective action are considered crucial for maintaining sobriety and personal growth within the AA framework. Historically, this practice evolved from spiritual traditions emphasizing self-examination and accountability. It fosters emotional maturity and helps individuals build stronger, healthier relationships by promoting responsibility and humility.
