Success Rate when trying to contact people from the past to make amends
Permalink  
 


Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently working on Step 9. My sponsor suggested I begin with living family members, so I contacted my two brothers and sister-in-law. They all agreed to chat with me on Zoom, and the amends went very well. Now I am trying to begin the process of contacting friends to ask if it is OK if we chat on Zoom (I live overseas, so most of the people on my list live in North America). Some of the names on the list are people I have not seen or talked to in 30-40 years. I am getting a but frustrated since I have found their contact details using Google/Facebook/LinkedIn, or contacting a mutual friend; however, with many of these people, I have not received a reply to my email request for a chat in order that I can make an amend to them. I am not sure if this is normal, since so much time has passed? I have a lot of names on my list and am wondering if I am been too thorough and that it's only natural people have moved on with their lives, and since I left North America 30 years ago, I have kind of fallen off their radar. Any advice or experience you have had would be appreciated. 

 

Sincerely,

 

BigZen

Hey BigZen,
sorry no one was here to answer your post. This step takes a LONG time. I just sent a guy a check last week. He was happy to receive it. I really don't think a had any negative reactions to
making an amends, except for maybe the X-wife, who complained it was long overdue. :p
Keep the plug in the jug

Hi StPeteDean,

 

Thanks for the reply. June 15th, when I posted the question, is a ways back. Having completed my Step 9, I think I should be satisfied with the number of people who did get back to me, since it was, in some cases, close to 35+years, that I last had contact with them. I reckon my success rate of managing to make contact with people on my Step 8 list was about 75%, which is pretty good.

There are many benefits of hiring a dissertation editor. A good editor will check the entire document, from the bibliography to the reference section, to ensure that everything is cited correctly and follows style guides. An editor can even set up a bibliography and in-text citations to ensure that your paper follows the same format as your references. They will be able to make suggestions to improve the quality of your work. Dissertation editors uk-dissertation.com/dissertation-editing.html will also help you create a proper introduction to support your salient points.

A career in accounting requires strong math skills, an understanding of business principles, and the ability to analyze and interpret financial data. An accountant who has knowledge of advanced software programs is in high demand by employers. Additionally, an accounting professional must understand how to protect company data and use technology to maximize the accuracy of their data. https://onlinefreelancejobs.net/accounting-job/ These skills can be acquired through an education in accounting or a postgraduate program. Regardless of background, pursuing a degree in accounting will help you stand out among other job candidates.

Sometimes it's hard for people to make amends no matter how much time has passed, remember that while you are trying to mke amends with all of these people you are not entitled for their forgiveness and you can't make them listen to you if they don't want to, please keep that in mind and don't be discouraged by it.
