I finished my 8th step with my sponsor last night, which means I am officially on my 9th step now.
We made a list of all people we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Contrary to populary belief, my list is not ALL that long! lol Only one sheet of binder paper. Single spaced of course. I'm excited to do this step. It's going to be a journey of healing and self discovery.
Some people I will make direct face to face amends to, while others, I will have to write letters too. (Ex-husbands and the like)
Okay I'm off to school! Have a great....great....great day!

Keep on doing what you are doing. This is a great idea actually.

I've been doing this for the last year (because of Dale's drinking and my co-dependence) and it really helps.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day at school!
Good luck with this. It does actually sound like something healthy for any of us to do.
ReplyDeleteCareful on this one. Some people forget that they can rekindle pain in others; in cases where they should leave it alone and remember not to selfishly seek the amend without considering consequence to others.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for sticking with it, though.
If you go with the same format as they have in "My Name Is Earl," they'll be too busy laughing to be upset at you. Especially if you incorporate a daytime hooker and a gay cop.

I was going to give the same caution as Juanderlust did. Some things are best to be left alone. I do believe in writing the letters, but in those situations just burn them after. At least you get the admission out to yourself...I think that can be the most important thing.
