What do you do about wrongs you can never right? Anne W. tackles this challenging question in this episode of SoberQ, focusing on Step Eight of the recovery process. Anne shares her personal journey, highlighting the importance of having a sponsor to guide you through the delicate balance between avoiding difficult issues and over-focusing on past mistakes. She candidly discusses her struggles with critical perfectionism and the need for mature, responsible behaviour moving forward.
Anne emphasises the value of seeking advice from a sponsor to determine whether an amends is truly impossible or if it's just uncomfortable. She explores the concept of indirect amends—changing future behaviour to prevent repeating past mistakes. Drawing from the 12 and 12 literature, Anne underscores the significance of thoroughly examining one's past actions and their impact on others, even when direct restitution isn't possible.
This episode isn't just about making amends; it's about understanding the emotional harm we've done to ourselves and how it influences our recovery journey. Anne's reflections reveal that recognising these deep-seated emotional conflicts can lead to profound personal growth and a better understanding of one's character. If you're grappling with unresolved wrongs in your recovery journey, Anne's insights offer practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
