Step 8: Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Making Amends

By doing the first column, that created the space that the second column became possible. And then the no fucking way, never sort of required some more time.
Ever wondered how to face those you've hurt during your journey to sobriety? This episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast dives into the emotional complexities of Step 8 in the 12-Step Recovery program. The host, RecoveryCrone, starts with a practical homework assignment: read specific pages from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and other recovery texts, then make a list of people you've harmed.
But here's the twist—divide them into three columns: those you're ready to make amends with, those you might be ready for with time, and those you can't even imagine facing right now. RecoveryCrone gets real about her own experiences, sharing that her parents and perpetrators were initially in her 'no way' column.
Through her candid storytelling, she reveals how working through the first column opened up space for tackling the second, while the third required even more time and emotional work. Her reflections offer a raw, honest look at the struggles and triumphs involved in making amends. This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with the idea of making amends or seeking a deeper understanding of Step 8.
Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, you'll find relatable insights and practical advice that can help you navigate this challenging but essential step. Tune in for an episode that's as enlightening as it is empathetic.
