Listen "I Wreak of Sobriety: Practice the Principles in All My Affairs"

Episode Synopsis

When the time came for me to make amends to those I harmed during my drinking days, I had no memory of the stuff I needed to make amends for. This made it a bit challenging for me, but not impossible. I always claimed I wasn’t a blackout drinker, but I suppose I just remembered everything I wanted to.
Making amends is like opening the door to a relationship and saying, “let's look at it, and I’ll pick up the pieces that I have broken.” Amends is not an event. It’s a new way of life. Once the door is open, the real work begins to nurture the relationship and rebuild what was broken. 
It's likely that the people we make amends to have never witnessed a person changing their way of life in its entirety; But, if we practice the principles in all our affairs, this dramatic change is in fact what they will see. That is where trust is rebuilt.
