Amends, Apologies, and the Myths of Forgiveness: A Guide to the Eighth and Ninth Steps

by Steven C

Amends, Apologies, and the Myths of Forgiveness is a guide to the 12-step "amends" process and is intended to help recovering addicts navigate the eighth and ninth steps. Maybe even more than the fourth step moral inventory, the eighth and ninth steps - the process of going to the people we have harmed and offering amends for our misdeeds - can bring the recovery journey to a grinding halt. "How can I face the people I've wronged?" "How can I make amends for some of the things I've done?" "What if someone won't accept my amends?" "What if making amends will get me in trouble?"

Amends, Apologies, and the Myths of Forgiveness is dedicated to the belief that the amends process, while challenging, is doable. This booklet contains a wealth of guidelines, insights, and suggestions to help the recovering addict receive the gifts of this part of the path to sanity and wholeness.
