person A: 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.
person B: Oh no that doesn't sound good. What almost happened?
person A: 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.
person B: Well I'm glad you sobered up and didn't do anything you would regret later!
