i actually went and made 2 amends today to previous employers.i thought i was only going to do one but would you know,a ride came my way to get to the other destination (hhhmmmm).on the 1st i went in and said that i was a recovering alcoholic and that i was trying to make restitution to people i done harm to.i said i was sorry for letting them down,i was very sick at the time,i said this was not an excuse just an explanation and that all i was there to do was apologise and take responsibility for my actions.it got quite tearful as the lady has a little insight into the spiritual life.she said she was glad i had come to see them and she was glad i was getting well.she apoligised for things maybe being not being organised when i was there (it was a new business) i said it didnt matter about that at all and that had no bearing on my actions or why i was there.the 2nd (which i didnt think i was going to,but hey,wouldnt yah know!) the lady was shocked but pleased to see me,she said she often wondered how i was.i told her why i was there (same as before) and she said she knew i was an alcoholic but had kind of hoped that things would work themselves out (she was just going to sack me when the lady i made my 1st amends today had offered me a job),,so i just jumped before i was pushed there.she gave me a hug,said i looked well and hoped it stuck.she said she was glad i had gone to see her.i said thank you for listening to me.then ive just got home,im drained but in a good way.powerful stuff this.
