The Power of the Written List in Step 8: A Meditation with Buddy C

We start with our four step inventory. If we're having difficulty thinking of people that we've harmed, maybe we could start with those that harmed us. I heard sandy b in a speaker series one time say that's a good place to start, because if we feel we have been harmed, we probably have a part in that harm too that we may not see.
Ever wondered why a written list is crucial in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C kicks off the Step 8 series with a deep dive into the importance of making a written list of those to whom you owe amends. Drawing from his own tumultuous path to sobriety, Buddy explains how this seemingly simple task can become a cornerstone of your recovery process.
After battling pancreatitis and multiple relapses, Buddy found lasting sobriety in 2008 and has since dedicated himself to helping others navigate their own journeys. He emphasizes that creating this list isn't just about jotting down names; it's about acknowledging your past actions and preparing yourself for the emotional work ahead. Through his personal anecdotes and practical advice, Buddy makes the daunting task of Step 8 feel manageable and even empowering.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into how a written list can help you release resentment, take responsibility, and ultimately find peace. So grab a pen and paper, and let Buddy guide you through this essential step towards a more serene life.
