If the old idea is: I'm not loved and the amends is to be made right, then the ultimate amends is being true to myself and giving myself that love, giving myself that love that I don't believe that I have externally.
Imagine thinking you've done everything right in your recovery journey, only to find there's still more work to be done. That's what happened to Amy. In this episode of 'Progressive Recovery', host Ronald Chapman chats with Amy about her path through the Twelve Steps and how she discovered the concept of living amends. At first, making amends seemed pretty straightforward to her – fix what was broken, make things right, and change behaviors.
But as she dug deeper into her recovery, Amy realized that true healing required more than just these initial steps. Amy shares how she moved beyond traditional amends to a continuous practice of living amends. This isn't just about saying sorry or making restitution; it's about fundamentally changing who you are. She talks about how emotional sobriety became a crucial part of her journey, focusing on altering old beliefs and behaviors that were holding her back.
This deeper level of recovery involves examining personal relationships and understanding core issues that drive unwanted behaviors. One of the most powerful aspects of Amy's story is her emphasis on self-love and the role of a higher power. She explains that the ultimate amends come from being true to oneself and giving oneself the love we often seek externally. Trusting a higher power and asking tough questions are practices that Amy believes are essential for ongoing recovery.
If you're feeling stuck in your recovery or struggling to achieve authentic emotional sobriety, Amy's insights might just be the guidance you need. Her story is a testament to the idea that recovery is an ongoing process, one that requires continuous effort and self-reflection. Tune in to hear Amy's inspiring journey and learn how living amends can lead to profound personal transformation.
