My thought for today is Amends. Taking concrete action to repair harm I have caused, not just apologizing, but attempting to return things to the way they were before I screwed them up. I ought to be careful that in making amends I do not cause further harm. I remember, when I was very new and before I even had a sponsor to guide me, I was making amends to my first wife about being unfaithful to her when drinking. She asked me who I was unfaithful with. Without hesitation, I told her, and in so doing, I damaged a few more relationships in an attempt to save mine. Doing the steps is one thing, doing the steps properly is something else altogether.
