No worries. Yes, I discussed this with my sponsor and was given the green light. And yes, I acted badly towards her, there definitely was an amend owed.

It went very well. Very, very well. I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't meet with the owner yet, but word has it he knows what I'm trying to do, and is more than willing to meet with me when he comes back from vacation.

Melinda (the second Amend) was gracious, and surprised to actually learn I even had a drinking problem. As it turns out, she's the General Manager now, which is pretty cool cuz she was my protege, I taught her everything she knows. All has been forgiven. In fact, she told me her and the owner were discussing trying to hire me back a while ago , but couldn't offer enough money and were afraid they'd insult me if they made a low offer. Heck, I might even end up working there again some day, who knows ?

Next in line after the owner ? My Ex wife.........

Thanks to all for your well wishes and kind words.

Been there, done that. Walked away with an assault charge and restraining order from my ex and her BF after I made my amends to her. As my sponsor explained it, God would open the door when the time was right to do it again, and he's done just that.

Glass, glad it went well for you.

This sounds like it could have turned into a sexual harassment suit. Ouch! Glad it went well though Glass!

I looked this one up:

We may lose our position or reputation or face jail, but we are willing. We have to be. We must not shrink at anything.

Pg 79, BB, 3rd ed.

You did good Glass.

But the defendant in a sexual harassment suit is usually the employer, here the company Glass worked for. So, "… except when to do so would injure them or others..." would have to have been considered here, too.

Boy, it is really good that this one is already worked out.

Good work, GP! Amends can be hard, but you did what you felt like you had to do. I'm glad it was well received - that makes it even better

GP my hat is off to you, I only have one or 2 that could turn into a barn burner, my ex and the husband of a lady I had an affair with many years ago. My ex is self explanitory, the ladies husband is due an amend because he begged me to quit seeing his wife and being the cold hearted SOB I was at the time I told him straight to his face no. To my knowledge their marriage did survive me, he was a hell of a nice guy and I would just like to tell him I am truly sorry for the hell I put him through.

You know I think I am going to have more of an indepth conversation with my sponsor before I make amends to the husband I mentioned, I could tear open some old wounds that I have no right to open.

Good to see you Taz ! Thanks.

Yeah, my ex is still in the works too. I'm willing, I'm just waiting for the opportunity to preset itself.

Tazman53

That for me is going to be the hardest part.... the right opportunity will be hard because the only times I ever see her is when all of the kids are around, I have no idea how she will react......
