Just Got Of A Meeting
HEY FAMILY.
I :ghug2JUST GOT OUT OF A MEETING AND THE TOPIC WAS ABOUT AMENDS, THIS LADY SAID AMENDS AND SAYING YOU'RE SORRY ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE MAKING AMENDS MEANS CHANGING;NOT REPEATING THE SAME OLD BEHAVIORS WE GAVE OURSELVES PERMISSION TO DO TO OTHER PEOPLE. I THINK MAKING A LIVING AMENDS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO WORK ON WITH MY SPONSOR, EVEN IF I WAS TO TELL SOMEONE I WAS SORRY, THEY WOULD LOOK AT ME AS IF I WERE CRAZY. TAKING ACTION AND SHOWING THAT I AM CHANGING COULD PROBABLY CATCH SOMEONE'S ATTENTION, HOWEVER EVEN IF NOT, I KNOW I DON'T WANT TO GO AROUND HURTING PEOPLE ANYMORE. ESPECIALLY MY LOVED ONES. DO YOU THINK I SHOULD EVEN CONCERN MYSELF WITH THAT RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW HAVING 30 DAYS AND ALL.

I asked my sponsor something similar to this... She told me that there is a reason that step six is step six. That to properly do the step you have to go thru the other ones first. Your perception on how to make the ammend will probably change.
I myself am trying not to look too far ahead and focus on my goal for the day.
Hope this helps!
Congrats on your 30 days!

I had said that I was sorry to my family so many times, that I was a broken record. When I stopped drinking, I knew that I had to stop saying I was sorry. I knew that the only thing I could do to improve the situation, was to show people how I was changing. Be patient with yourself and focus on getting through each day and slowly moving forward. Your family and friends will see the change.
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

Please do the Steps in order with your sponsor.
That's the way they work best
and when you get to the amends Step
you will have a better idea of whats needed.
Of course ...do say your sorry
but I agree...actions are louder than words.
Well Done on your sober time
