Amends
I've been sober 17 days today and wanted a drink more than anytime since deciding to stop. I've been grumpy last couple of days. Went to IOP tonight and a meeting that helped. I'm starting to stress about making amends. I know I'm not to that step yet but there are amends that I know I can't make, and I'm worried about that.

Hi HK
people in AA will be able to help you more in the amends process - but that is one of the later steps for a reason - it's best you have a secure foundation to your recovery first.
Your sponsor will guide you through what to do - don't worry

Don't stress about anything.
It will all work itself out.
There are enough things that come along presently, to
make us anxious, without looking to far into the future.
HP..Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

Two points: 1) You're right, you are not far enough along to worry about this, you have 8 steps to work first.
2) Just read step 9 again:
So you have 2 outs: a) the amends may not be possible or b) it may harm them or others.
2) Just read step 9 again:
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others

Don't worry about step 9, you will get there in due time. I know some people who have put off an amend to someone for a long time, years in fact, I'm not saying that's good, just that you are not the only one who has felt this way.
