“Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.”
“Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 5 · How It WorksWhere it comes from
Step Eight as printed in Chapter 5 of the 1939 first edition.
Today’s reflectionTwo separate actions hiding in one sentence: the list, then the willingness — and the book doesn’t require them on the same day. Write every name, including the ones that make you argue out loud with the paper. “Became willing” is allowed to take time; some names ripen slowly. This Step isn’t about anyone forgiving you. It’s about you setting down the ledger you’ve been carrying.

Paying for treatment
Check coverage before choosing treatment.
Coverage depends on the plan, provider, service, and medical-necessity rules. Ask both the facility and your insurer about network status, authorization, and your expected cost.
