Scott F. on Realizing the True Extent of Harm in Recovery
“To define the word 'harm' in a practical way, we might call it the result of instincts in collision, which cause physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual damage to people.”
Scott F. from Jacksonville Beach, FL, takes the mic on this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast to share a raw and eye-opening story about making amends in his recovery journey. When Scott first attended Eighth Step meetings, he thought his list of people he'd harmed would be short. But as he dug deeper, he realized the impact of his actions stretched far beyond what he had imagined.
He opens up about how his drinking led him to 'drop out' of people's lives, failing to return calls, send cards, or be there for those who needed him. Through the Daily Reflection book, Scott found the guidance he needed to face these truths and begin the process of making amends. He also touches on the importance of faith, the challenges brought by the pandemic, and how having a sponsor has been a cornerstone in his sobriety.
Scott's candid reflections remind us that acknowledging harm is a crucial step in recovery, and making amends can be a powerful act of healing for both oneself and others.
