Yesterday I had a run-in with someone, someone who knows exactly how to get to me. In the past, run-ins with this person made me want to drink (I never did though). Full disclosure: I had in the past done a grave disservice to this person; I did make my amends but it was too little, too late, they have opted to not forgive.

Yesterday was different, as it started getting heated I did a personal inventory and saw my part in the escalation, maybe for the first time.

Because of that I was able to extricate myself intact, no desire to drink, no desire to argue, just sadness that this happens. I was grateful as well.

I apologized for my part, wished them well and said goodbye.
