Great job on choosing sobriety and I agree that waiting is great advice.

Amends is actually step 9 of AA- step 4 is when you make a list of all the people you have harmed. It is critical though, to back up to step one and do the steps in order, if you choose to work the program of AA. It is my path and lifeline, and there are other programs folks here can share about. A plan of action to learn to live sober and well is critical as most of us with any length in recovery will attest.

That anxious and "ready to apologize " feeling was certainly true for me, but as people said with sobriety comes clarity and some ideas I had at the start were better left alone for later (sometimes a lot later, and there are actually two amends left that I am still pondering whether to make- I am two years 8 mo sober).

Not drinking is the most important thing when you start, and truthfully, always. Best to you and hope to see you with us.
