Amends

Making amends step in co dependent book sucks. Making my lists and checking them twice, and adding MY name to a list that I harmed...ugh.

Tough stuff . . . . for any of us taking personal responsibility is difficult.

Keep doing whatever the next right step is . . . .and it can be tiny. It doesn't all have to happen at once.

Step 8 is the "amends" step. Have you thoroughly done steps 1-7 with a sponsor?

As I recall, you were recently just starting to venture into Step 1 and you mentioned not being ready for a sponsor. Amends come waaaaaaay down the line after there's a firm foundation of Steps 1 through 7, done with a sponsor and in community with others. The Steps aren't meant to be worked quickly or alone. Step 4, in and of itself, can take a very long time to assimilate. I'm wondering why you've jumped into Step 8?

Don't read ahead. You will feel overwhelmed. There is a reason it happens a step at a time friend!
