Nar-Anon Meeting Opened My Eyes.......
So, I thought I understood the word, "amends" until I attended this meeting and had my understanding become more clear.
I always thought an amends was merely an apology, but this particular evening, we had a "double winner" explain the difference between an amends and an apology. An apology is just words, whereas an amends is a commitment to change. Change is what I've always wanted, I guess that's why apologies seemed so shallow.
I love the process of learning and then learning some more: it explains the term, "progress not perfection."
