Most families hear “I’m sorry” a hundred times, but those words alone don’t rebuild trust. In recovery, trust isn’t repaired through apologies — it’s rebuilt through character, integrity, and consistent action. In this episode, I sit down with Josh Dikis of Impact Recovery Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Josh breaks down what real amends look like — not guilt-driven checklists, but honest reconnection, accountability, and changed behavior. We talk about why amends aren’t a moment but a process, and why families don’t trust recovery until they see long-term change, integrity, and follow-through. Josh shares some of the most powerful amends he’s made, how he was taught to make them right, and what it means to rebuild trust piece by piece. If you’ve ever wondered why “I’m sorry” isn’t enough — or what has to come after — this conversation breaks it down.
