I believe I have a good understanding of the amends process, and I think, firstly through doing the steps and being thorough with that and being humble enough to own my shit, even the worst parts, and look at the harms and put them right, but also because I've got really good people around me that continue to show me the way in that process.
Picture this: a life where past mistakes no longer haunt you, and every step forward is a step towards healing. That's the journey Kelly D. shares in this episode of '12 Step Recovery Evolution'. As a former UK Rehab client, Kelly opens up about the transformative power of the amends process in her recovery. Led by Rehab Director Lester Morse, these online support sessions during the COVID-19 crisis provided a lifeline for many, including Kelly.
She describes how making amends wasn't just about saying sorry; it was about taking full responsibility for her actions and genuinely working to make things right. This path wasn't easy—there were tears, regrets, and moments of deep introspection—but Kelly's story highlights that the rewards far outweigh the struggles. One of the most moving parts of Kelly's journey is her emphasis on humility.
She explains that true amends require more than just apologies; they demand a sincere effort to change and rebuild trust. For Kelly, this meant facing the pain she had caused her loved ones, especially her children. The process was heart-wrenching but ultimately led to stronger, more honest relationships. Community support played a pivotal role in Kelly's recovery. She speaks warmly of the network of peers and staff at UK Rehab who stood by her side, offering guidance and encouragement.
Their support was crucial in helping her stay focused and committed to her goals. Kelly's experience is a powerful reminder that while the road to recovery is fraught with challenges, it is also filled with opportunities for growth and redemption. By owning up to past mistakes and making sincere efforts to mend relationships, one can find inner peace and a renewed sense of purpose.
Tune in to hear Kelly's inspiring story and learn about the profound impact of the amends process on her journey to sobriety.
