The 12 Steps with PDAP

Step 9: Restitution 

“Made direct amends to such people wherever possible except when to do so would injure them or others.” 

This step asks us to take action to right past wrongs. Completing this step releases our unburdens feels like a huge weight being lifted off our shoulders. 

The act of amends is not always possible though. A recovering person may cause further damage to the affected person if they contact them. If further harm is likely to be caused, it is wise to accept that amends cannot be made. Acceptance practiced in earlier steps can help us let go of what we cannot control. By living in the world as is, we move towards healthier beliefs.

The 12 Steps with PDAP
Step 8: Responsibility

“Make a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.”

This step requires us to evaluate any past harm that we may have caused others. In order to be better and to grow from our past, we must close any chapters that may have been left open due to feelings of guilt, shame or envy.

Guilt management is vital to averting one’s destructive coping behaviors. As in Step Four, this is a form of assessing guilt for hurting others and taking action to admit it. This external focus is a recurring theme and here we focus on doing good outside of ourselves. This replaces addictive behaviors that tend to be self-serving.
