Something that held me back from making some of the amends, was that I wasn't sure how the other person would respond and I worried about them not accepting my amends.
My sponsor wisely pointed out to me that this step is about me making my amends and keeping my side of the street clean. She suggested that it didn't matter how the amend was accepted, just that I gave it honestly and from my heart. If I got a cold response or no response at all, it didn't matter, I didn't own anyone's reaction.
And sometimes where making amends was not possible, I became a living amend, doing something special for somebody else to make up for it.
Becoming the best person I knew how to be and learning to live life on life's terms and find beauty in every day...that was the best amends, the one I made to myself.
