What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this engaging episode, the hosts of 'At The CCC' are joined by Becky F. to tackle the intricacies of making amends, as inspired by Step 8 of the 12-step programme. Broadcasting from the heart of San Francisco's Castro Country Club, Anthony, LouiLou, and producer Jordan provide a candid and humorous exploration of recovery. Becky F.
brings her unique perspective to the table, emphasising that making amends is not just about apologising but about awareness and change. The conversation highlights the importance of creating a list of those we've harmed and being willing to make amends. But don't worry, it's not about grovelling or crawling back; it's about understanding and growth. The hosts delve into personal anecdotes, sharing moments of vulnerability and insight.
They discuss how amends can sometimes mean changing one's behaviour rather than direct apologies, especially when direct contact could cause more harm. It's a lively chat full of laughs, honest reflections, and even some playful banter about the challenges of living alone. Whether you're in recovery or simply curious about the process, this episode offers valuable insights into how making amends can lead to personal freedom and peace.
As always, the hosts remind listeners that recovery is a journey best travelled with support. So grab a cup of tea and prepare for an episode that's as entertaining as it is enlightening. How might making amends change your perspective on past mistakes?
