This article describes Step 8 in the “12 Steps to Change” video series about the reality of addiction and the power of recovery. (See the introductory article about this video series on the Mormon Channel. See articles about the other steps.)
Addiction is real. So is recovery.

Step 8: Forgiveness. Make a written list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make restitution to them. Learn more about Step 8: Forgiveness.

Watch “Larry’s Story about Drug Addiction Recovery.” Larry’s drug addiction started when he was a teenager, following a troubled childhood. He decided to run away from his broken home and went 13 years without speaking to his father. His anger at his parents fueled his addictive behavior. Seeking forgiveness for himself and for others was key to his recovery.

Help is available by using these 12 steps and participating in the Church’s Addiction Recovery Program (see AddictionRecovery.lds.org).
