Nope, never been on the receiving end. XAH used the line "I'm going to AA now and I have so many amends to make to you," to get me to come home when I left him. Ohh, how sweet, how great... what a crock. He wasn't going to AA then.
He used it with his sister when she went to the family meetings at his in-patient rehab. She did the same thing I did "I think he's really getting better, TheUncertainty. I think he's really working the program. He told me he needs to make amends to you and DS and the rest of our family."
I'm pretty sure he can't work the steps if he doesn't think he has a problem and says he isn't "one of those people." (His and his GF's words.)
