Principle Nine — Justice — isn’t about punishment, score-keeping, or trying to make life “fair.” In recovery, justice is about living honestly, taking responsibility, and treating people with the same dignity we expect in return.
Justice in the spiritual sense means: • We tell the truth even when it’s uncomfortable • We stop blaming others for our pain • We clean up our side of the street • We repair harm where we can, and stop creating new harm
When alcohol ruled our lives, fairness went out the window. We hurt people, we lied, we hid, we manipulated, and we told ourselves we were the victims.
Principle Nine calls us to grow up spiritually — to show up in the world in a way that reflects integrity, humility, and accountability.
Today we’re talking about how justice shows up in our recovery: • Owning our wrongs without beating ourselves up • Making amends through consistent changed behavior • Seeing others as equals, not obstacles • Leaving old selfish patterns behind
Justice isn’t about perfection — it’s about becoming someone trustworthy again, one day at a time.
Keep trudging.
