AMENDS:


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.
