Step 8 on the journey to freedom is to make a list of all persons we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all. Our addictions, our habits and our sins are the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath the symptom is the source of our problems. Some of what might be the source of our problems are the broken relationships we have. We cannot move forward in freedom until we make amends and apologize for where we have hurt others.
