We start to exercise a new willingness to make things right. Our behavior toward the addict and others has not always been considerate and understanding? If we are honest with ourselves, we can admit our relationship with the addict emphasized many of our character defects.
Imagine facing a list of people you've hurt, and finding the courage to make things right. In this episode of 'Recovering from My Child's Addiction,' Shelly Summers dives into Step 8 of the Nar-Anon Program, which is all about making amends. Shelly and her guests tackle 25 tough but essential questions, guiding listeners through the emotional terrain of honesty, forgiveness, and the willingness to mend broken relationships.
From discussing how to be completely honest with oneself to exploring the role of a sponsor or Nar-Anon member in this step, they leave no stone unturned. They also delve into the importance of self-forgiveness and the need to let go of anger and impatience that may have strained relationships with family and friends.
Whether it's acknowledging how one's obsession with an addict affected their children or understanding the harm done to oneself, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for those ready to make amends. It's a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to heal from the ripple effects of addiction, reminding us that true recovery involves both personal and relational healing.
