Part of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous:
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make
amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do
so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.
Very helpful to me, even though I was just the wife of the alcoholic, I did some very hurtful things to people that I loved and cared for. No. 10 helps me not be like the Catholic who goes to confession, and then goes out to sin some more. I don't do the amends for the victims. I do them for me. It's why I still go to the occasional AA or Alanon meeting.
