This step can be so challenging for so many of us. Like step one and step four, step eight calls us to be objectively introspective. We must see things that we did in a light that is not clouded by pride or fear. One of the most important things to remember is that this is merely a list. The second most important thing is the word “willing“ that is found in the wording of the step. As we previously discussed Willy Nash is a key, that when inserted, the door opens up even of itself. Do not be discouraged by the personal inventory that this step requires, but rather what does step has the potential to do. Step eight is an avenue to forgiveness. It is part of every plan of recovery. Forgiveness will always play a vital role.
