Direct amends is a good description of what this amends entails. It's making an amend directly to the person or institution that you've harmed.
Picture this: you’ve hurt someone, and the weight of that guilt feels like a boulder on your shoulders. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C guides you through a short yet impactful 5-minute meditation focused on Step 9—making direct amends. Buddy C, who has been sober since 2008 after a tumultuous battle with alcohol, shares his wisdom on how to approach this crucial step in your recovery journey.
Direct amends are about more than just saying sorry; they’re about making things right. Buddy explains that true amends require sincerity and a willingness to change, not just an apology. He offers practical tips on how to write your amends, suggesting that starting with gratitude can pave the way for a more meaningful reconciliation. Buddy also emphasizes the importance of surrendering to a higher power, much like you’ve surrendered to your addiction.
He advises seeking the guidance of a sponsor to ensure you're on the right path. This meditation isn’t just about ticking a box; it’s about genuine healing and moving forward. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to make direct amends and the peace that comes with it.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Buddy's insights offer a fresh perspective on making things right with those you've hurt.
