9th Step Amends - On God's Time

Send us Fan MailThe author explores the delicate balance of making amends in recovery, specifically addressing situations where reaching out might unintentionally harm others. By illustrating a personal story involving a past relationship, the story emphasizes that the goal of the Ninth Step is not to selfishly "clear one's conscience" but rather a discerned process guided by spiritual timing and always considering the well-being of the victim. This narrative shifts from a private act of writing an unsent letter to a divinely orchestrated encounter years later that allowed for a direct apology. Ultimately, the story serves to demonstrate how living amends and patient willingness allow for a resolution that benefits all parties in ways an individual could never have planned alone.True Stories of Alcoholics and Addicts.  Struggles, insights, physical, emotional and spiritual recovery.
