So I became willing because I was tired of so much guilt. I didn't want to feel guilty anymore.

Welcome to episode 35 of the Recovery Show.

We were trying to new format this episode and recording live, including our real-time interaction

with listeners in a chat room.

We're planning to try out this format a few times, so if you miss the opportunity to listen

and interact live during this episode, you will have more

opportunities to do so in the future.

This episode is brought to you by Val.

She used the donation basket button on our website.

Thank you, Val, for your generous contributions.

This episode is for you.

We are friends and family members of alcoholics and addicts who have found a path to serenity and

happiness.

We who live or have lived with the seemingly hopeless problem of addiction understand as

perhaps few others can.

So much depends on our own attitudes and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

If you are struggling with guilt and resentment over your actions in the past, if you aren't

ready to make amends to someone. If you

think you deserve an amends before you make one, you've come to the right place.

Keep listening as we discuss step eight. Before we begin we would like to state that though we may be in a 12-step program

we represent ourselves rather than the program. During this show we will share our

own experiences as they relate to the topic of step 8.
