[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 724886, member: 17720"] In my son's program they spend 3 MONTHS working on steps 8 and 9, making amends. I was speaking to a long-term recovering alcoholic friend of ours about son's progress, and he said in his experience it is crucial to honestly and diligently work on making amends. Son has referenced it a few times -- that he is working on letters to the people he has hurt the most, etc. -- and I catch myself thinking, "Well! You'd better mention THIS...and THAT...and...OH! Don't forget the time you..." But it's not my amends to make, it's his. So I would keep it light and easy, both on the cards and on the visit. The rest of it will come when the time is right, hopefully once the wounds have had the chance to scab over a little bit. [/QUOTE]
