April 14, 2016 - Readings in Recovery: The Eye Opener

The Serenity Prayer
The Eye Opener
Thursday, April 14, 2016 
In Step Eight, we "made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all." 
It is a lot easier to list those persons whom we have harmed by some intentional and direct action than it is to list those whom we have hurt by acts of omission. 
We have not only done those things which we ought not to have done, but we have left undone those things which we ought to have done. 
Carelessness, neglect, lack of appreciation and thoughtlessness can hurt as much as a kick in the teeth.
