Episode notes
Making amends is a crucial part of recovery, but it’s not without its challenges. This session delves into the vital practice of ‘sweeping off our side of the street,’ a metaphor for focusing on our own actions and responsibilities without pointing fingers at others. We explore how the repeated emphasis in the Alcoholics Anonymous literature on self-examination and personal accountability before making amends underscores its importance. The text revisits this theme in various ways, perhaps indicating how often its authors faced difficulties in effectively making amends themselves. Have you ever attempted to make amends, only to find the conversation dredging up forgotten issues or misremembered events, leading to further conflict? This video discusses how such experiences are part of the learning process, teaching us the importance of thorough preparation and the right mindset before approaching someone for amends. Join us as we discuss strategies for making amends that heal rather than harm, ensuring that we truly understand and own our part in past conflicts. Remember, recovery is a journey of continual learning and growth. For more insights and support, make sure to join us live every Thursday night at 7 p.m. Arizona time on our YouTube channel.
