First - I wrote each name on an index card and put the precise harm that I thought I had caused them. Then I reviewed each card with my sponsor - who I also did step 5 with. Many of the cards were thrown away - like old girlfriends, they probably don't remember me - in my head I am so important that I have an affect on every single person that I ever have come in contact with, of course if things went bad I assume I harmed them in some way...but in many many cases - there just wasn't any harm to ammend, no book to balance so to say.
Then I had my cards and was sent out to make ammends - some written, some direct, some by phone (I still have some btw) - but I pray over them, each one...asking for direction from that power which I know am in contact with. Some that have not been made are not because I can't find the person either - the light just isn't green...all in God's time, not mine. Some of these which had a red light turned green - and in retrospect I can see why, but only in retrospect. If I would have approached them any earlier - I probably would have caused more harm.
