Making Amends

[Isinatra]

Making amends and taking responsibility for my actions is part of the twelve step program that keeps me sober. I’m a work in progress and that work will never end. I’m making amends to the person I offended that felt it necessary to delete a comment I had made about cocoa. I’m assuming that that was the reason, since I wasn’t told why and I’m only guessing, but I think my guess is right. That was insensitive of me and I make no excuses for it. I am sorry. In AA, when a person makes an amend, they expect little in return. The objective of amends is not to expect forgiveness because that may never happen. We admit our wrongs because it’s the right thing to do. We alcoholics have enough burdens to bear without accumulating more guilt on our shoulders. It’s much easier to not drink when our burdens are lighter. 💕

When I got sober, I was one big mess of guilt and shame. Thank goodness for the amends steps. I was able to get rid of the garbage I walked in with. And the continuing capability to continue the practice is invaluable.
