    Step Nine - Not Saying I'm Sorry? Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,339 views

    I have been thinking about Step nine over the last few days. I really think the writers knew how much humility and courage it takes to do a 9th step amends and it’s the reason, they made sure the other steps of getting right with oneself and then God came before reconciling with others. Step 9 is ...read more
