ALL ADDICTION 12-STEP PROGRAM WORKBOOK FOR MAKING AMENDS
The How and Why of Steps 8 & 9 for Alcoholics, Drug Addicts, Codependents, Overeaters, Whatever
We believe that you can’t do recovery wrong. You can only quit. And where do most people give up on themselves? It’s balking with completing their amends. They hold on to those worst items in stock and fail to enlarge their spiritual condition.
Why then do we make amends? Well, here’s a few reasons.
· We agreed to go to any length for victory over our addiction.
· We will be gratified with the results.
· We are trying to put our lives in order.
· We find the experience beneficial to us.
· We’ll lose our fear of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
The directions for Steps Eight and Nine are specific. This workbook walks you through each of the five categories listed in the Big Book for making amends which are: Business Acquaintances and Friends, Financial, Legal, Domestic Troubles, and Family.
Steps Eight and Nine are not something we just “get around to”. Making amends requires careful contemplation and preparation. In this workbook we first explain how and why we make amends in brief, clear, and simple language. Then we provide the needed worksheets for each category.
