are you happy with how many holes you have in your head at this time?
Tomsteve brings up an excellent point. When I was making my list in Step 8 because of the temporary pink cloud I was on from Steps 5, 6, and 7, I wrote down a long list of names. To which my sponsor said to me something like "stop trying to be a saint". She saw I was still in ego and said that I didn't have to make amends for "every little thing".
I've heard it said by a circuit speaker that some people sort of skip over Steps 6 and 7, and their egos are too heavily involved in 8 and 9. Makes me wonder how many people are making amends for themselves and not for others.... Thankfully my sponsor caught me.
Personally I think the most important amends we make is to God but that's for another thread I guess.
