Hey NAP
the amends step is later on in AA for a reason - it can be pretty emotional. I'd focus on getting secure in your recovery first before you go making amends.
Forgiveness from others will always be on their timetable...you may have to wait a while for some people. Forgiving myself - I did the best I could to lead a 'good' life and help others.
That allows me to let go of the past and focus on the now.
