“The worst thing you can do is to try to figure out how it's going to go. Never do that because I've never had an amend yet go exactly the way I thought it would”
In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, the focus is on Steps 10 and 11 of the twelve-step programme. The speaker dives into the importance of these steps in maintaining long-term sobriety and spiritual growth. You'll hear how these steps are not just about clearing away the wreckage of the past but about ongoing self-improvement and spiritual discipline. The speaker shares personal anecdotes, emphasising that real growth happens in Steps 10, 11, and 12, rather than just the initial steps.
One interesting point made is that making amends often doesn't go as planned, and it’s essential to stay open-minded about the outcomes. The speaker also discusses the significance of daily discipline in practising these steps, reading from the book each morning and night to stay focused and committed. Another highlight is the role of '10th step buddies' who help keep you accountable and honest about your actions and thoughts.
The episode wraps up by stressing the importance of living a life driven by spiritual principles rather than being dragged down by emotional and mental obsessions. It's a powerful reminder that sobriety is a daily commitment requiring constant vigilance and spiritual practice. Tune in to hear practical advice, personal stories, and spiritual guidance that can help anyone on their recovery journey.
