In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about one of the hardest truths in recovery: apologies don’t mean a thing without action.

Step 9 teaches us to make direct amends, but real amends aren’t just words — they’re consistent change.

We don’t fix the past by rewriting it; we heal it by living differently today.

Saying “sorry” may open the door, but changed behavior keeps it open.

This is where recovery gets real — when the people we hurt stop needing to believe our promises because they can see our progress.
