I have a friend in AA, and he's doing really really well. He's reached Step 9 of the 12 Steps to Recovery. I'm very proud of him. Pic most definitely not related.
Anyway, Step 9 is the step where recovering alcoholics make amends with those whom they may have hurt with their habits and behaviors in the past, and I am one of the people with whom he'd like to make amends.
I don't feel as though he's hurt me in any specific or even direct way. Almost all of my memories of him are very pleasant, although our behavior during that time may have been unhealthy for the both of us.
Any of you had to do this? I'm just wondering how to sit down with him and discuss these things in an appropriate way, be constructive, and build on our relationship.
Thanks for the help!
Honestly, the drunk person usually feels 10000x worse then the people they may have affected.
I've had people apologize to me about what they said when they were drunk, and i completely apologized.
Also, I've felt guilty for months for a drunken mistake i had made, and when i mention it the person ususally says "oh yeah lol that was funny".
So just be supportive of your friend. Perhaps he feels guilty about something, just let him get if off his chest.
