I am a newcomer who is struggling with the first step. It's my thought that you never leave that step if you want to keep sanity in your life.

Making a list of the persons I have harmed is difficult because I would have to admit to being wrong. It's hard for me to be wrong because I have had to work miracles, endure all things and pull things together for so long.

Making a list will help me to examine my behavior and take away the excuses. Just as I have maybe been able to point out all the inappropriate behaviors of others, I have to face my own.

That's a great step toward maturity.
