Younger sister got blackout drunk and ruined my evening, how do I get over it?

[Anonymous]

I went to a concert with friends recently and my sister (almost 40 adult) got blackout drunk. I did not make it into the concert due to the blacking out and instead was in the med tent with her.

This was my first time ever witnessing someone be non responsive and needing medical intervention due to drinking. Things happen and it was obviously a mistake. I was rightly scared and concerned.

Yes, it is something that happened recently so that may be the reason I am having a hard time moving past it and putting it behind me. But any suggestions on how to move on would be welcome.

Back in 2012 I had the same thing happen with my now ex-best friend. It was a concert for a major artist when he was just an upcoming SoundCloud artist. We got there hours early to stand in line and assure we got front row seats.
She wandered off at one point to go drink and disappeared for almost an hour before I finally had to give up our spot when she wasn’t answering my calls or texts.
This sucked so much because the people behind us wouldn’t hold our spot and the line was already outrageous at that point. I found her passed out in a pile of vomit and had to take her home. Cried the entire drive because I was such a huge fan and she ruined an opportunity that has never and may never happen again at such a small, intimate venue. Needless to say it ruined our friendship quickly? I think it was her lack of remorse, and I cut her off a few months after.
So the fact that you’re experiencing this with your sister and probably have the same emotions, all I can really suggest is not taking her to important events anymore if she can’t control her drinking. It’s one of the other — no drinking or no going, and after what she’s done she will have to respect that. I’m sorry you had a very special night ruined, it took my a long time to get over what I lost. Hopefully you and her can work through this and move past it going forward.

Is it the ruining of your evening or the trauma of seeing your sister hurt that you are having trouble with?


Or is it both?
