Step Eleven & Twelve: Shhh

In our final episode of the 12 step series, we tap into the power of pausing and listening. Why is this simple practice so difficult and yet very crucial to our recovery journey? Is a spiritual awakening even possible?  Steps 11 and 12 state: (Step 11) “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” (Step 12) "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."  Hosts: Rob Gregerson, Katie Pendergast, RhiAnnon Kaspar, Ian Green Find your local AA meetings at www.aa.org Website: www.themassexoduspodcast.com Facebook/Instagram: @themassexoduspodcast Contact Us: the.mass.exodus.podcast@gmail.com Support Us: www.patreon.com/themassexoduspodcast

Step Ten: Mulch

As we near the end of our 12 Step series, the grief gang talks about what it is to live a life of continued inner and outer processing and why self kindness matters.  In step 10 we: "Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."

Step Eight & Nine: The Amends, Where Panda Express Makes Everything Better

Dun, dun, dun... we've finally arrived at the long-awaited steps that has our stomach in knots: making amends. The grief gang shares personal  stories while pondering if this step actually brings the greatest sense of relief in our recovery. Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems? As always, there's lots of laughs, a few gasps, and a treasure chest full of discovery! Rob also reads yet another fake ad, this time by our sponsor, The G.O.P. (Gorman's Overhead Projectors) In steps 8 & 9 we... “Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.” "Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

Step Seven: My Car Needs a Jump Start!

As the dreaded "amends steps" approach, we take our 12 step series to Ian's 1930's yacht where we ponder the meaning of humility, why preparatory steps like this one are important and then ask one important question... are we actually in control? Step Seven states: "Humbly ask Him to remove your shortcomings."
