DAILY INVENTORY

. . . . and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 59

I was beginning to approach my new life of sobriety with

unaccustomed enthusiasm. New friends were cropping up

and some of my battered friendships had begun to be

repaired. Life was exciting, and I even began to enjoy my

work, becoming so bold as to issue a report on the lack

of proper care for some of our clients. One day a co-worker

informed me that my boss was really sore because a complaint,

submitted over his head, had caused him much discomfort at

the hands of his superiors. I knew that my report had created

the problem, and began to feel responsible for my boss’s

difficulty. In discussing the affair, my co-worker tried to

reassure me that an apology was not necessary, but I soon

became convinced that I had to do something, regardless of how

it might turn out. When I approached my boss and owned up to

my hand in his difficulties, he was surprised. But unexpected

things came out of our encounter, and my boss and I were able

to agree to interact more directly and effectively in the future.
