My sponsor and I have spoken about this, step 9 is one that takes acceptance and continual awareness and willingness. I make amends where I can and remain willing to do others as the opportunity arises. I will go to my grave working on my ongoing amends to my family. Does any of this consume me? No, I have learned that I simply need to be willing to make the amends when I have the opportunity, to do service work and to take every opportunity to help folks who need help whether they are a fellow alcoholic or not.

When I pass on the the other side I feel that I will be able to totally finish my amends.

Thanks for the replies folks, the main reason I posted this is because some one said they had finished their step 9 amends. I just have to accept that after 40 years of drinking I left a trail of people I have hurt from one coast to the other. Lots of time, a lot of people, and a lot of hurt, I just remain willing and striving for progress.
