- Step Eight – Making the List
Send a text
In today’s episode of Sober Readings, I read Chapter 8 from Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, which focuses on Step Eight: “Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.”
This chapter explores the emotional courage it takes to look honestly at the harm we've caused in our past and the willingness we must cultivate to begin the process of amends.
Whether you're working the steps for the first time or revisiting them with fresh eyes, this reading offers powerful insights on humility, forgiveness, and healing.

5 min - Sober Readings – Chapter 8: A Higher Power (Part 2)
Send a text
In this episode of Sober Readings, I wrap up Chapter 8 of Came To Believe, continuing the theme of discovering and redefining a Higher Power in recovery. The final six stories in this chapter offer heartfelt insight into how individuals came to their own understanding of faith, connection, and spiritual presence in everyday life. The stories included are:
- Faith in People
- Conversation
- God is Good
- The Whole Company of…
- Guiding Presence
- A Living Part of AA
These stories remind us that belief can come in many forms—and that spiritual growth often starts with willingness. Whether your Higher Power is clear to you or still taking shape, I hope you find something that resonates here. Thanks for joining me on this journey.
