Trusting one's sponsor
When I was new, although I had better experience of me than my sponsor, as I had been me longer than he had observed me, once I reported to him the pertinent facts, he had sufficient facts, and his experience of many hundreds or thousands of alcoholics rendered him more able to assess my situation effectively.
