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.
