David G: Finding Healing and Humility Through Steps 7, 8, and 9 in AA

And now I'm trying to look at myself so that I can turn these things that I clearly am not capable of thinking my way out of.
Ever wondered how the steps in Alcoholics Anonymous can truly change lives? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', David G dives deep into the heart of Steps 7, 8, and 9. He doesn't just talk about the process; he shares his own transformative journey. David opens up about the humility he discovered in Step 7, explaining how it helped him see himself through the eyes of others.
He touches on the profound harm addiction can cause to personal relationships and emphasizes that making amends is more than just saying sorry – it's about changing behavior and rebuilding trust. David's story is both raw and inspiring. He recounts two deeply personal amends he had to make, illustrating the real-life impact of these steps. His reflections on the spiritual experience within AA highlight the importance of relying on a higher power rather than just one's own willpower.
David's insights remind us that humility isn't about thinking less of ourselves but understanding our limitations and striving for progress, not perfection. Listeners will find themselves moved by David's honesty and the practical wisdom he offers. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, this episode provides valuable perspectives on healing and growth. Tune in to hear how sobriety can mend broken relationships and bring about meaningful change.
