When I first thought of Step 10, I immediately pictured the face of a co-worker. The scenario that came to mind wasn’t my fault and it wasn’t his fault. But the feeling of guilt still hovered over my mind. 

I’m a taxi driver, and on this day, I had a wife jump into my cab. At the same time, her husband jumped into his cab. Now, in this situation, the husband, not wanting to get into a fight, chose the wife’s cab, mine.

I know the co-worker was disappointed, so after I dropped them off, I searched for him to make a 10th Step amends by splitting the payment in half. His eyes lit up and we both laughed about it. Our bond with one another became closer. But most important, I rid myself of the feeling of guilt and slept well that night.
