Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

We have a list of all persons we have harmed and to whom we are willing to make amends. We made it when we took inventory. Step 8 is about refining and compiling the list of people that we have hurt with our negative coping mechanisms: family members, friends, etc so that we can prepare to have a conversation wherein we acknowledge the hurt we caused them, and apologize.

This step is just about our side of the sidewalk, not theirs. We prepare to take responsibility for the choices that we had control over and that we made, with no excuses.
