Join Joe McDonald as he explores the importance of preparation and the approach when making amends in Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe emphasizes the repeated guidance in the Big Book, noting, “Notice how they said the same thing so many times. That should give you an idea of how much preparation you might need before the approach.”
Reflecting on personal experiences, Joe shares, “Any of you ever had that happen to you? You just went all bad, and all of a sudden, they brought something up, and then you just went off on them? Well, that crashed and burned.”
Joe then highlights a critical promise and condition from the Big Book: “We stick to our own. If our manner is calm, frank, and open, we will be gratified with the result.” He prompts viewers to consider, “What’s a calm manner look like?”
