STEP # 8....Made a list of all the people we have harmed and sought to make amends to them based on the true understanding of boundaries,forgiveness ,trust healing and Godly sorrow....This one is a doozy!!!! For anyone who has spent years active in their addiction thats a pretty long list.!!!! You do things when you are under that bo***ge that you would not normally do,,,,things you are ashamed of.....things that hurt others.....things that hurt yourself. Having to revisit that is daunting to say the least.And the thought of humbly facing someone you have knowingly wronged ???Its alot!!! It takes courage and commiment ....Sobriety is not for the timid!!!! I have to be honest ...Ive never formally worked this step tho I do think the Lord has brought me through it long before I started in this program.I got sober by all out deliverance and never worked a program. Years later when the Lord put it on my heart to reach out to others who have had a similar past I discovered there are so many ways I could have benefited from good Godly council like that in this program. Truth be told Im actually working this program right along with the person who is newly sober . Im learning there is so much more to being sober than just not "using". Things like....making amends....setting and respecting boundaries....practicing and asking for forgiveness.
