It means we become willing to let go of our hard-heartedness
– one of the great blocks to our ability to give and receive love.
In the Eighth Step, we make a list of all people we have harmed,
and we allow ourselves to experience a healing attitude toward
them.
We do not, in this Step, dash madly about and begin yelling,
"Sorry!" We make our list, not to feel guilty, but to facilitate
healing. Before we actually make amends, we allow ourselves to
change our attitude. That is where healing begins – within us.
It can change the energy. It can change the dynamics. It can begin
the process, before we ever open our mouths and say sorry.
The energy of healing begins with us. Our willingness to make
amends may or may not benefit the other person; he or she may
or may not be willing to put matters to rest.
But we become healed. We become capable of love.
