Hey friend, welcome back to A Shot Glass of Recovery, hosted by yours truly, Lisa M. Today, we’re diving into the elusive yet incredibly transformative Step 10 Promises. We often chat about those Step 9 Promises, right? But do we really give Step 10 the love it deserves? Buckle up as we explore how life takes a miraculous turn once we hit this pivotal step in our recovery journey.

You know the drill on inventory – spot-checking our day, pausing to make amends, and staying emotionally fit. But did you know Step 10 offers incredible promises that can truly change your life? Yep, right there on pages 84 and 85 of the A.A. Big Book. From ceasing to fight anything (even alcohol!) to realizing absolute neutrality and finding yourself in safe waters – these promises aren’t just words. They are the bedrock of your newfound freedom.

The magic doesn’t stop there. Imagine not needing to avoid temptation or declare any grand statements about quitting alcohol. Sounds liberating, right? We’re talking miraculous changes happening almost automatically as you stay spiritually fit. I’ve numbered and shared all 16 promises that draw you into a position of safety and protection. Doesn’t that sound like a piece of paradise?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
