Welcome to August, the 8th month of the year, and Step 8.
Step 8 : Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willling to make amends to them all.
Step 8 is another of the 'action steps'. We take-the-action to pick up a pen / pencil along with some paper and make a written list of all persons we had harmed.
The action verb in Step 8 is willing. Before beginning to work the suggested 12-steps of recovery, in Chapter 5, How It Works, we decided that we wanted what AA has to offer and were also willing to go-to-any-length to get it.
When at Step 8, I ask that a member write down at least one name from their Step 4 Inventory and immediately make an amend to that person. We discuss this individual and how to go about one's amend to them.
Taking this immediate action gets the Step 8 and 9 process into action.
Which is to say, that Steps 8 and 9 are worked together.
I began this website to show photographs of our significant historical sites. Dr. Bob's home in Akron Ohio. Bill Wilson's birthplace in East Dorset Vermont. Stepping Stones in New York. Then it occurred to me that once done .. there would be nothing more to post here! So for this reason I have decided to expand my initial thoughts about this website to also include photographs of meeting locations and other tidbits that I feel would be of interest to those of you following this website.
MANY OF YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE MANY IMPORTANT HISTORICAL SITES OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS.
I PLAN TO SHARE WITH YOU PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN OF THEM AS WELL AS PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN OF SPECIAL MEETING LOCATIONS THAT I HAVE VISITED.
