I have been expecting a visit from my older sister. I thought she was arriving on Monday. I had taken time off next weekend for us to spend time together. I had booked a hotel for an event a couple hours away. She advised me last night that she was not coming but is now going somewhere else with a friend whose drinking rivals hers. I'm quite upset to be dumped because I'm sober. My sister's alcoholism is 13 years up the road from where mine was..and well, it's quite scary. She was coming her to sober up. I was going to be here with her in case something bad happened..just be with her.
At any rate, she chose to continue drinking. That's her choice. Perhaps I may have made the same one had I still been drinking.
