get the facts before acting - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I'm glad I did that before acting on my own impulses. In reference to the situation with my sponsor. Clearly I did not understand the situation and was jumping to conclusions. I was way off base. Everything could have been solved with simple communication. I allowed myself to get so worked-up without trying to find out the truth. I had already drawn my own conclusions and was not open-minded enough to consider I might be wrong. Thank God nobody got hurt due to my irrational thought process.
There were valid reasons why things had transpired the way they did. I never took the time to find out and could have made a mess out of nothing.
Anyway everything is ok and I'm feeling much better. Hopefully I will learn from this. The best news is I DID NOT DRINK OVER IT!!!
I thought it would be nice to report something good for a change.

Dan that is awesome, do not feel bad about jumping to conclusions, you will do it again!! LOL

We all do it at one time or another, as long as we don't drink over things we can mend things and resolve them in a way that is best for all parties concerned.
