Step Nine: Crafting Genuine Amends with Billy and Jason
I think healthy people tend to deal with things in the here and now. It's evident in the amount of addiction and domestic violence and neglect and abuse, and the things that we see like those are all signs of trauma in your community, of people that aren't being raised in healthy, good environments and that aren't getting the morals and values and things that they believe they may not manifest in addiction in these people's lives.
How do you genuinely mend the bridges you've burned? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason take on Step Nine of the recovery journey, focusing on the art of making amends. They dive deep into the three R's of amends: restoration, restitution, and resolution. This step isn't just about saying 'sorry', it's about truly repairing the harm done and transforming relationships for the better.
Billy and Jason share their personal stories and insights, exploring how to approach amends creatively and thoughtfully. They also discuss the ongoing nature of living differently to avoid repeating past mistakes. Ever wondered what role a sponsor plays in this delicate process? The hosts break it down, offering practical advice and real-life examples. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that might just change how you view making amends.
