Humbly asked Him to remove our short comings.
Step Eight – Willpower
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.
Step Ten – Balance
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
