Honesty, morality, good boundaries, and coherence are goals for Steps 8 & 9.
Steps Eight and Nine require concrete action based on having fully absorbed the previous seven steps.Making amends to them all means more than mere apology. It requires concrete changes in behavior.
Although this blog post covers both Steps Eight and Nine, they need to be worked through as very separate steps.Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others., although a sincere apology is often a portion of an amends. Step Nine calls for concrete changes in behavior, just as an amendment to a law changes that law. An apology without changing your harmful behavior is a hollow performance. In many instances, simply acknowledging your harmful behavior directly to another, face to face, is already a significant change in behavior.
The reward for doing Ninth-Step amends is often immediate relief and a lightness that comes from the lifting of shame. The truth really can set you free, and openly telling the truth about yourself to those who have been harmed lifts the chains on your freedom. Manyin making their amends, but this leaves them still chained to their shame. The only path toward personal freedom is through becoming transparent to others, upright, honest, and willing to change.
