Day Five ...........Step Nine ...... Made direct amends to such people wherever possible except when to do so would injure them or others .......... I learned that direct amends can take many forms.In some cases ,when the other person knew i had wronged them ,i needed to go face to face to try to mend the relationship.My amends , however could also be an act of kindness or consideration.A change in my attitude often at times was the best possible amends .Leaving the door open to allow a relationship to develop slowly was a helpful approach , too .I also learned that my amends needed to carry with it a commitment for better behaviour in the future .Whether someone accepted or rejected my amends was none of my business .I needed to make my amends as honestly as possible ,but there were instances when the other person needed more time .Occasionally , i found poeple i thought i had harmed who were completely unaware of what i did .While i was anguishing over the terrible damage i had done , they remained unaffected .Once again ,i was not as powerful as i thought ........ Paths to recovery .....
