I am a member of alcoholics anonymous and have been in good standing, clean and sober for 22 months. I am in the 9th step of my recovery which means I even the scales for harm I have caused which is why I am here.
The harm I am clear on is from when I was a child trick-or-treating up until a little over a year ago I had a blatant disregard for people’s privacy and humanity by looking into random people’s windows with the lights on as I walked by, stood at the bus stop, or sat at the park with my friends. I would make up dramas about their lives as I watched them conversing in their kitchens, living areas, and apartment stair wells using it as entertainment to alleviate my own boredom. If it is anything like when people have done it to me I must have brought discomfort, unease, and even paranoia.
Is there any other harm I am not clear on and is there anything you would like to tell me about how this harm effected you?
And lastly is there anything I can do to make it right and balance the scales?
