Say "I'm sorry and mean it!"

Colossians 3:13
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Step 9 says we need to make amends to others: Luke 6:38 says "Give and it shall be given you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

It is clear from the Bible that in recovery God wants us and expects us to forgive, as He has forgiven us. Making amends and forgiving others are a necessary part of the recovery process.
