Celebrate Recovery Lesson Night ~ Lesson 16 Amends

Join us as Amor teaches us this important lesson on Ammends!

Lesson 16 Principle & Step:

Principle 6:  Evaluate all my relationships.  Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I have done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.  Happy are the merciful.   Matthew 57  Happy are the peacemakers.   Matthew 5:9

Step 8:  We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.  Do unto others as you would have them do to you.  Luke 6:31

Making amends is the beginning of the end of isolation.  Your secrets can no longer hold you hostage once their power is destroyed.

Lesson 16 – Highlights:

• Admit The Hurt & The Harm: Releasing resentment to allow for healing and happiness
• Make A List: Check your list for those you have hurt and those who have hurt you, have you made all your amends?
• Encourage One Another: Check with sponsor/accountability partner to make sure your amend motives stay on track
• Not For Them: Amends should be humble, sincere, unconditional and expecting nothing in return, focusing only on your part
• Do It At The Right Time: Pray and ask for guidance and direction, timing is key
• Start Living The Promises of Recovery: Accept freedom from your past, it is one of God’s promises

This is a great time to fellowship and network with others in recovery to build your accountability and sponsorship team. The more solid relationships that we have, the better our chances of living a healthy life in recovery. Recovery is not meant to be done alone, and it is meant to be enjoyed!

“Celebrate Recovery is a great place to meet people who are on the path to recovery and fellowship with like minded individuals...”

"Finally, a place to worship along side with people who genuinely care about me and hold no judgement."
