When we do Step 10 with other people, why don't we do it in a 12-Step meeting?
This is our experience. Your experience may of course be different. In small private groups or in one-on-one interactions, it's possible to find the trust and intimacy that must accompany the working of Step 10. We do Step 10 by ourselves as a constant practice, just as the AA Big Book suggests on page 84. But part of Step 10 is the discussion of our selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear with someone else. Obviously, if we need to do this part of the Step, we have to interact with another person.

Can small 12-Step groups be suitable venues?
No advice In regular 12-Step meetings, by contrast, some people are inclined to offer advice, even if that's done using crosstalk. In our experience, neither crosstalk nor advice is useful in our practice of Steps 10 and 11.
