Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Made a list of all persons we had harmed…
— First half of Step Eight
By the time we get to Step Eight, we’re ready to work on our relationships. We start by making a list of all the persons we’ve harmed. We look at where we have been at fault. We own our behavior.
Now we’re healing, and we must help others heal too. Our list must be as complete as we can make it. As our recovery goes on, we’ll remember others we have hurt. We add them to our list. By doing this, we heal even more. Remember, this Step is for us. It is to help us stay sober.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me make a complete list. Help me to keep it open-ended. Allow me and those I’ve harmed to be healed.
Action for the Day
Even if I’ve made a list before, I’ll make another one today. I will list all those I have harmed.
