Thumbs up

Well now you know what NOT to do next time... That sounds like a positive to me and a day where you learned something, sounds like a good day to me!
There is a great book out there and is you ever get a chance to read it I would strongly recommend it. Its called "A new set of glasses" great book, when in recovery our perception is a little off and how we perceive things differently. I know today must have been a tough one, but just think of the new possiblities that you have.? Unlimited!!!

Best of luck!

ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some
person, place, thing, or situation-- Some fact of life -- unacceptable to me, and
I can find no serenity until I accept that
person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly
the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in
God's world by mistake.
Unless I accept life completely on life's terms,
I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to
be changed in the world as on what needs to
be changed in me and in my attitudes.
