I think I would have decked her.....or yelled really loud at the very least
Three years ago, I'm SURE I would have done both!
It's amazing how sobriety not only has given me the ability to think clearly, but also, I'm learning in small steps, to let time pass before reacting to situations.
Also, I have to share that I spent a great deal of time thinking about the situation last night. It was unnerving, and part of what I finally realized was bothering me, is that I was so stuck in the habit of assuming that I was wrong and that everyone else was right from when my self-esteen was non existent due to my drinking, that it took me a few hours to realize "hey, I did the right thing and it wasn't just a front. That woman needs to clean her side of the street. Mine's looking pretty good to me right now."
I share this in gratitude and hope. Thanks for sharing your experiences too.
