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.
