Welcome to You Are Not Alone, a recovery podcast. My name is Matt Jay, and on this show, we're here to share our experience, strength, and hope covering from addiction. You can contact our show at the website, not alone, recovery.com. We don't speak for any 12-step group, but we do try to remain anonymous and keep those traditions.

And tonight, more heavy lifting in the program of recovery.

Tonight I have John and Steve back, and we're going to talk a little bit about steps eight and step nine.

So step eight made a list of all the persons we had harmed and became

willing to make amends to them all and then nine made direct amends to such people wherever possible

except to do so would injure them or others now this is the one when you're in a meeting and you're

brand new and you look at the poster on the wall.

I'm sure these are the two you look at and say, uh-oh, I might be in the wrong place here.

This might not be the right place for me.

I'm not doing that.

Some people can do this for me because you pissed me off.

What am I getting my amends?

John and Steve, how are you guys doing?

Fantastic, Matt.

How are you doing tonight?

Awesome.

It's a hot one in New England.

Yeah.

We're hot for us.

Not a bad day to be sober.

Yeah, every day is a good day to be sober.

Absolutely.
