So glad you're back after being bucked off the stallion. You know I had a phone call from my older brother this morning which ended up ticking me right off. I was frustrated and angry and it struck me..that I was having a bit of temper tantrum over something really benign. I realized I have no emotional muscle because I have drank for every damn lame excuse I can..especially anger and frustration.
If I drank this morning, I would have been just spinning my wheels and continued my 5 year old temper tantrum everytime someone said or did something frustrating.
Knocking back a few drinks solves nothing but keep you handicapped in the sense you can't handle conflict.
I also realized that I personalized what he said...like it had something to do with me..like I was stupid or worthless. NO..he's just a controlling arse sometimes. Big deal..his problem..not mine.
