My sister says I start fights when I drink
The other day I was in the kitchen with my sisters, brother in laws, and husband and my sister made a joke about how I start fights when I drink and everyone except my husband started laughing at my aggressive personality and past embarrassing stints when intoxicated. Even though it was true- it stung. Even though it’s been ten months since I’ve had a drink it still made me feel defensive. But I took a deep breath, admitted in my mind (and out loud) that they were right, let the conversation move to something else without making the comment a big deal, and then reminded myself internally that this is a huge reason why I quit. I don’t want to be the defensive fighter anymore. I will continue to become a better and better version of myself for myself and for my family. Thanks to this sub for all your support. IWNDWYT
