Step 8 – Episode 35




The Recovery Show » Finding serenity through 12 step recovery in Al-Anon – a podcast show

Summary: If you are struggling with guilt and resentment over your actions in the past… If you aren’t ready to make amends to someone… If you think that you deserve an amends before you make one… You’ve come to the right place. Keep listening as we discuss STEP 8.<br> <br> Kelli, Spencer, and Swetha share our own experiences with Step 8, as we try to address these questions and others:<br> <br> How do you decide if you have “harmed” someone? (what was the act? why did we do it? What were the consequences?)<br> Have you made a list? How did you go about it? (use your 4th step?)<br> How do you “become willing” to make amends?<br> What if there are people you are not willing to make amends to?<br> Can you be willing to become willing?<br> What about people who owe you amends?<br> Did you make it onto your list? Why is it important to include yourself?<br> What is the difference between willingness and actually making the amends?<br> What part does honesty play in this process?<br> Did you review your list with anyone before planning amends? Did they make any suggestions to you? What did/ could you learn from them?<br> Does your HP get included in this step?
