How Do I Make Amends?

By N

Day 63 – Step Work SEEKING FORGIVENESS KEY PRINCIPLE: Make a written list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make restitution to them. Before our recovery, our addictive lifestyles were like a tornado full of destructive energy that cut through our relationships, leaving much wreckage behind. Step 8 was an opportunity […]

Quick Review of Step 8

By N

It’s late. Becky is having a YW retreat in the basement so I’ve just been doing nothing. Today was an eventful day. Started out well at our 9:00 meeting. Our team is doing really good with BES. Then the curve ball: Dane invited me to a meeting with Ethan and Jason at Jason’s office. I […]

Finishing Step 8

By N

We had one of the best meetings tonight: the Spirit seemed to be really strong and everyone who shared gave insights that were helpful. I feel like it’s such a blessing to work with all the guys in the group. It’s fun to see the same faces and a few new ones each week. I’m […]

Step 8 – Showing Kindess to Others

By N

Today was a good day. I’m feeling the affects of staying up way late last night: helping clean up puke from the girls and working on the AD project. It’s late tonight too so I hope to have a direct and effective study. Think about people who have shown kindness and love to you. How […]

Step 8 – Breaking the Cycle of Bitterness and Offense

By N

I had a good meeting this morning with Jason. We talked about the progress made on Step 8, talked about resentments, and began discussing a few of the “how’s” of Step 9. Some things that I’ve really been grateful for: That Jason taught me the Step 4 process the way he did, focusing on Resentments […]

Resentment and Bitterness

By N

Today was a good day. I felt we had a good training for the team – my objective going in was to think about what we can do to help clients see a quicker ROI. I got lots of commentary, lots of feedback, etc. Hopefully we can come up with things that will make small […]

Missed a Couple Days

By N

I missed the last two days and am ready to get back on track. Friday Becky and I went on a special date since Becky’s mom is in town. We stayed over night, had a great dinner, and were going to go to a movie but there was nothing worth watching it seemed. Instead, we […]

Step 8 – Forgiving & Forgiveness Continued

By N

Well, my mother-in-law just arrived. In the past this has been a “resentful time”. Not because I don’t love my mother-in-law, but mostly because I feel quite lonely. I sit here next to Becky and often times feel like a 3rd wheel. The question I have to ask myself is, “What can I do to […]

Step 8 – Forgiving and Asking Forgiveness

By N

Today went pretty well. I still feel a bit of resentment and pride at work, which seems to have dangerous effects on how I use my time. I didn’t waste a lot of time today, but browsed new friends photos a bit on Facebook… To me, this is like a relapse. I’ve also noticed a […]

Step 8 – Reaching Out to Others

By N

Tonight was a good night. I went to the Provo meeting due to a conflict this coming Thursday. It was amazing to see how many people were at the Provo meeting. There were so many we had to split in to THREE groups of about 15 people each. I was really surprised to only see […]
