I'm finding Step 9's challenge is amends to myself. It keeps coming up as the priority. I am discovering what that means, to make amends. For me it means reading related literature every day and studying and writing, all efforts to aid supporting myself spiritually. It's talking frequently to others in the program and giving and receiving on-going experience, strength and hope, learning along with each other whatever lessons we're here to learn, sharing the journey.
It's practicing self-respect and setting healthy boundaries; letting go, as I'm able, of old behaviors that are unhelpful. Most of all it's meant returning to Steps 1,2, and 3 for a deeper experience of tapping into my HP and maintaining that all-important relationship.
This step is much more meaningful than I imagined it to be!
