commit DAILY to the code that DRINKING IS NOT AN OPTION. period. EVER. under no circumstances and not for any reason.

then review your own behaviors - it would be a rare thing for a complete stranger to come up and start yelling at you - unless they are mentally unbalanced - like the guy I saw one day in an argument with a dumpster. we often have to learn new skills rather than resort to old FOO survival tactics. aka Fight or Flight.

I too hate conflict.....but I learned over time there are varying degrees of conflict.....some times we need to confront others to stand up for ourselves, other times we get hot headed and engage. we can do NOTHING about the other person, we can only control our own actions.

it does always come back to us.

god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
