Unsolicited Advice and the Art of Making Amends: A Deep Dive with 2 Sober Chicks

Just because you're my sponsee doesn't mean that I get to call you up and tell you what you need to work on.
Ever been on the receiving end of advice you didn’t ask for? Lisa and Julie from '2 Sober Chicks' know exactly how that feels, and they’re here to talk about it. In this episode, they kick things off with a fun discussion about their new musical intro. But soon, they dive into the meat of the matter: unsolicited advice and its potential pitfalls in the recovery journey.
Lisa shares a personal story where she identified a character defect in one of her sponsees and sent a text about it. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go as planned. This experience led her to make an amends, highlighting that it’s not just about saying sorry but also about changing behaviors to make things right. Julie chimes in with her own amends story, emphasizing the same point. The duo also touches on the tricky topic of forgiveness without an apology.

This episode is packed with real-life experiences and practical advice that anyone in recovery can relate to and learn from. Whether you’re navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights into the importance of making genuine amends and the dangers of giving unsolicited advice.
