Bill Says: (A Blog About Recovery)
Some thoughts about recovery. * Take what you like and leave the rest.

STEP EIGHT:
We begin by making a list of everyone
we have harmed on our journey, as we
have struggled to survive. We have
probably done more damage to
ourselves than to anyone else, so we
put ourselves first on the list.
Often, our tendency is to feel guilty
about everything we've done,
everyone we've come in contact with.
That is unearned guilt.
Once we have made the list, we
strive to become willing to make
amends to everyone on it because
that is how we will heal. Making
amends does not mean feeling guilty
and ashamed and punishing
ourselves; it means swallowing our
pride and defenses, and doing what
we can to take care of ourselves.
We become ready to improve our
self-esteem by taking responsibility
for our behaviors. We become
willing to have our relationships
with ourselves, others, and our
Higher Power restored.
