What are the common struggles and victories in addiction recovery? Join Lynn, Vikki, and Mark on 'Telling On Ourselves' as they navigate the colourful landscape of sobriety, discussing the art of making amends. Set against the backdrop of a bright, sunny fall day, the trio shares personal anecdotes and practical advice about amends and their transformative power in recovery.
From funny mishaps to heartfelt reflections, the hosts explore how taking responsibility for past actions can lead to a freer and more honest life. Lynn kicks things off with a tale about resisting the urge to meddle in her son's birthday plans, realising that stepping back allowed things to unfold naturally. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on how making amends is more than just saying sorry—it's about actively setting things right and living a better life.
Vikki shares her journey of practising living amends by treating customer service reps with kindness—a stark contrast to her past behaviour. Meanwhile, Mark recounts his humorous yet enlightening experience of apologising to a Subway employee over a missing mozzarella cheese debacle. Through these stories, the hosts highlight the importance of daily amends and personal inventory, emphasising that it's about unclogging emotional blockages rather than achieving perfection.
As they dive into the nuances of recovery, they remind us that life is not about maintaining a spotless environment but about embracing the messy, lived-in moments that make it meaningful. So, what does making amends mean to you? How do you balance taking responsibility with allowing life to unfold as it should? Tune in for a dose of laughter, honesty, and inspiration on your own journey to sobriety.
