And when I made that amends, it freed her and I was able to spend that afternoon just talking with her, like old times, and none of it was ever mentioned.
Ever wondered what it truly means to make amends? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Bill C dives deep into the nitty-gritty of Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. He starts by addressing a common misconception: while many believe Step 3 is the toughest, he argues that each step presents its own challenges. Bill candidly shares that it's perfectly fine to fumble through Step 3 initially, as it's a step you'll revisit.
However, he stresses the importance of getting Step 9 right the first time but not doing it alone. Bill's personal story illustrates how making amends can liberate not just you but also the person you're making amends to. His insights offer a refreshing take on the AA program, emphasizing honesty, humility, and the slow, deliberate process of making amends. Bill highlights that amends aren't just about saying sorry; they're about changing behavior and genuinely making things right.
He also touches on the 'selfish' nature of the AA program, yet underscores the value of diversity within the community. Encouraging listeners to express themselves and share their experiences, Bill believes this openness can help others on their recovery journey. His thoughts on kindness, empathy, and reaching out for support make this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating the AA steps. So, tune in and discover how making amends can be a transformative experience for everyone involved.
