Making Amends: More Than Just Saying 'I'm Sorry'
“Amends is a process of things you can and cannot do. It should be guided by your Sponsor or 12 step leader. We do not get to decide how the amends process will go because the process takes time.”
Ever felt that a simple 'I'm sorry' just doesn't cut it? In this episode of The Recovery Pastor Podcast, Shan dives into the amends step in recovery, shedding light on why it’s far more than a quick apology. Shan explains that making amends is a heartfelt process that requires more than just words; it demands genuine actions that reflect our true intentions.
Guided by a Sponsor or 12-step leader, this step involves patience and mutual effort between the one making amends and those who were hurt. Shan also discusses how to prepare emotionally for this journey and what to do when the person you wish to make amends with isn't ready to reconcile. With faith as a cornerstone, Shan offers practical advice and spiritual insights to help navigate this challenging but essential part of recovery.
If you're grappling with how to truly make amends, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement to guide you through.
