I can spend All Day talking about myself and how poorly I treated others and own up to that in a way, but I always suffered from the aspect of not putting enough action into those apologies and not actually making it right and not actually making those amends, because I'd harmed some people in ways that I just didn't think it was possible to really ever make those amends.
How do you make amends when the past feels too heavy to confront? In this episode of 'An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA', Josh C dives into the nitty-gritty of Step Nine and Tradition Nine from the 12 X 12. This step is all about making direct amends to those we've wronged, but as Josh reveals, it's often easier said than done.
He shares his own struggles with this process, emphasizing that amends can be taken in smaller, manageable steps with the right guidance. It's a heartfelt exploration of how taking responsibility and making things right can pave the way for long-term recovery. Josh also delves into Tradition Nine, which advises that AA should never be organized but can create service boards or committees. He discusses the importance of accountability and the potential pitfalls of monopolies in recovery programs.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Josh's candid reflections offer valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a fresh perspective on these crucial aspects of the AA program.
