Most of the times they didn't accept it and I said: this money doesn't belong to me, put it in a tip jar, put it in one of the donation jars that are on the counter or throw it on the floor.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly walk the path of recovery? In this episode of 'Sober in the City', host Debbie Strand and her guests dive into the nitty-gritty of steps four to nine in the recovery journey. These steps are all about facing yourself, owning up to your mistakes, and making things right with those you've hurt. It's not an easy road, but it's one filled with profound growth and healing.
Step four kicks things off with a deep moral inventory, where you list out all your resentments and grudges. It’s like cleaning out a cluttered attic – tough but necessary. Then comes step five, where you admit your wrongdoings to yourself, a higher power, and another person. It's a moment of raw honesty that can be both terrifying and liberating. Steps six and seven are all about seeking help from a higher power to remove your character defects.
It's about letting go of the old you and embracing change. Step eight involves making a list of everyone you've harmed and becoming willing to make amends. Finally, step nine is about taking action to make those amends, but only if it won't cause further harm. Throughout the episode, Debbie and her guests stress the importance of having a sponsor, letting go of resentments, and being willing to walk through the discomfort of recovery.
They share personal stories and practical advice that make these steps feel less daunting and more doable. If you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and encouragement.
