Hello all,

My sponsor and I have just reviewed the 8 and 9th step and it is time for me to make my amends. The only problem is, is that I am really having a hard time trying to find people I actually need to make amends to.
I’m 32 years old and I didn't start drinking until I was 28. My alcoholism progressed quickly, and now I am a little over 7 and a half months sober. When I was drinking, I did most of it as a recluse. I did drink socially once in a while, but I primarily did the majority of my drinking at home. The few people I did make amends to that I needed to, I have already done months ago. My sponsor told me that one of the biggest amends I needed to make was to myself. To me that feels like I'm being selfish, but I understand and agree with what he means. I'm going to give it some time so I can try to remember if there's anyone else I need to make amends to. My question is, is if anyone one else in here had that problem? I do everything I can to put 100% of myself into the program, because my sobriety is everything to me.

Thanks for your time.
