To make restitution is to restore something that was stolen or lost.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous discusses rebuilding relationships and how joy will impact our ability to do so.

Many of the events in our lives that contributed to us becoming dependent on substances or unhealthy relationships were traumatic and caused us to retreat into hiding.

As we go forward in recovery we have come to realize that we are accountable for the actions we have done, the behaviour that has impacted our relationships, and the problems we created throughout our addiction.

Going forward in recovery is about becoming mature and doing things differently.
