Continue to make amends by examining your life and what you have done http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=43677&columnid=4188 2009-10-23T18:47:10-05:00 Step 10: Continue to make amends by examining your life and what you have done to cause hurt to others and then take responsibility for it. http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=43674&columnid=4188 2009-10-23T18:41:31-05:00 Step 9: When we make amends, we have to be careful we do not further injure people or cause strife. For you to be on the road to recovery, you must be willing to forgive and seek others forgiveness. http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=43673&columnid=4188 2009-10-23T18:41:07-05:00 Step 9: Be diligent to pursue forgiveness whenever possible. The process of what got us into our dependency or addiction that led to our dysfunction may have caused a lot of anger build-up http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=43671&columnid=4188 2009-10-23T18:40:16-05:00 Step 8: Make a list and be willing with God’s help to make amends. It is painful and we may still have fear, but we can do this successfully and be a healing and a relief.
