I almost made the biggest mistake of my life and cost me the greatest thing that ever happened to me. But I sobered up and didn't do it.
Oh no that doesn't sound good. What almost happened?
I had gotten into a huge fight with my girlfriend so I went out with some buddies and started chatting and flirting with this beautiful woman at the bard.
Well I'm glad you sobered up and didn't do anything you would regret later!
