Step Eight

Step Eight

Making amends is no easy task, but it's a crucial part of the journey to recovery. In this episode of 'Our Way of Life Workshop', hosts Kate and Elizabeth take listeners through the emotional landscape of Step Eight in the twelve steps of recovery. This step is all about listing those we've wronged and preparing ourselves to make things right. It's a step that demands courage, honesty, and a lot of soul-searching.

Kate and Elizabeth dive deep into the importance of forgiveness—not just from others, but forgiving ourselves too. They share their own experiences and struggles, making the process feel less daunting and more like a shared human experience. The episode also touches on how meditation and having a sponsor can be invaluable tools in this step. Meditation helps center our thoughts, while a sponsor provides guidance and support.

As Elizabeth puts it, 'we're jotting down, we're getting down to the deep and the honest which can only be found inside of us'. This episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical advice for anyone ready to take this important step in their recovery journey. Whether you're new to the twelve steps or looking to deepen your practice, you'll find valuable insights and encouragement here.
