The Courage To Make A List  |  A Spiritual Deep Dive Into Step 8

You are the most important name missing from your own amends list.

We’re good at making lists of the people we’ve hurt. We’ll list the friends, the family, and the coworkers. But we almost always leave one person off: the one in the mirror. I spent 40 years "pickling" my body and mind with chaos. I carried a 25lb weight of guilt and shame every single day, thinking I had to pay for my past. But Step 8 isn't just about who you’ve harmed out there; it’s about acknowledging the harm you’ve done right here.

Coming to your senses in the "pig pen" of life means realizing that the Father is already running toward you. It’s time to put your own name on the list and stop carrying a debt that Jesus already covered.
