We are going to take the steps, the 12 steps in 12 weeks, with precise, specific, and clear-cut directions.
In this enlightening episode, we continue our journey through the 12 Steps, focusing on Step 9: Making Amends. David, a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, hosts the session alongside Page, a knowledgeable and respected figure in the recovery community. Together, they offer a deep dive into the process of making amends, a crucial component of the Alcoholics Anonymous program.
Drawing on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, they provide clear-cut directions for taking the steps, aiming to equip listeners with the knowledge to guide others through the process. David emphasizes the importance of making specific prayers, seeking guidance to improve relationships with loved ones. He shares personal anecdotes about learning to be a better father and husband, underscoring the transformative power of sobriety.
As they discuss the spiritual malady of alcoholism, they highlight the need for patience, tolerance, kindness, and love—virtues that guide the recovery journey. The conversation touches on the concept of 'bedevilments'—the obstacles faced in untreated alcoholism—and contrasts them with the promises found in Step 9. Listeners are encouraged to embrace the new freedom and happiness that come with successful recovery, as they intuitively learn to handle previously baffling situations. Throughout the episode, the emotional tone remains hopeful and encouraging.
David and Page share their experiences and knowledge, fostering a supportive environment for anyone interested in the 12 Steps. They remind listeners that making amends requires action and humility, and they offer practical advice to navigate these challenges effectively. As the episode concludes, listeners are invited to return for the next installment, where the focus will shift to Step 10, exploring disciplines and promises.
This podcast serves not only as a guide for individual recovery but also as a resource for those looking to support others in their sobriety journey.
