Heather M.'s Guide to Recovery: The Power of Steps 8 & 9

I'm a very firm believer that we should not be settling for sobriety and we should be aiming for recovery.
Heather M. takes us on a heartfelt journey through Steps 8 and 9 in her recovery process. Speaking at the Blue Print for Recovery Vancouver group, Heather dives into the nitty-gritty of making amends and how it has shaped her path to lasting sobriety. With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, she shares how her sponsor taught her that character defects are the root causes of her issues.
Heather emphasizes that the longer she distanced herself from completing the 5th to the 9th steps, the more she fell back into old patterns. She believes that recovery is about more than just staying sober—it's about genuine transformation. Heather's story is packed with real-life examples, like paying back child support and securing a job to make those payments, showing that making amends is not just about saying sorry but living out your apologies through actions.
The ninth step promises a spiritual awakening, and Heather's experiences affirm that recovery is achievable, even when faced with significant personal hurdles. Her insights offer hope and practical wisdom for anyone navigating their own recovery journey.
