Forgive me CC'ers, for I have sinned...

[Fab Foodie]

A confession regarding my 3 month abstinence from beverages of the alcoholic variety. I partook of beer on Thursday night, 3 pints.

I've been working since Sunday on our Russian project with my boss. He is also on the wagon for 1 month, so that was great being able to keep ourselves clean. Even when our Cameron Diaz look-alike sales lady joined us for a night, we happily watched her swig back the red whilst we carried on with sodas.
It was a tough long week with the customer. After the wash-up meeting late Thursday, we were surprised to be invited to dinner, in fact a boys beer-drinking night that they had organised at a new 'German Beer Keller' in town, where the main attraction (apart from Sausage) was the long list of German beers to sample. It put us in a difficult situation. If it were a resteraunt for a regular type meal, we might have got away with water etc. But that they hade planned specifically to take us beer-tasting made it very very awkward. So we took some beers.

I'm really mithered by it, we were doing great. Had nothing since and will continue through to April, but it feels a bit tarnished . However as far as our relationship with the client, it was the right thing to do, but feel I've let people here down.
I had a crap night sleep and fell cruddy this morning too.

Feel better having gotten it off my chest. I'm a miserable sinner.

I forgive you FF. In the line of Duty - what can one do?

 

[wafflycat]

Fear not brother sinner, you are forgiven. Just go outside, nekkid and jump in an icy river, tread water for 30 seconds and then get out and beat yourself with birch twigs as a suitable penance.

Must resist temptation to make smutty comment about the attraction of German sausage...

.. damn...

off to jump in the stream at the end of the garden..

You have done nothing wrong Fab. Your confession is nearly there...

...just say three "Old Peculiers" and all will be well with the world my son.

 

[yenrod]

2 hail mary's for you !

 

[Baggy]

You have been strong to confess my son, and to have decided to clamber back on the waggon rather than say, "sod it, may as well keep drinking now"

 

[rich p]

yes, yes, yes and Mary was only a little bit pregnant

 

[Aperitif]

Fancy a beer Fab?

 

[tdr1nka]

Don't worry FF, you were put in a position that you didn't expect.
No harm done.

If you had just gone to the pub or opened a bottle at home, it'd be a different matter.
One question sprang to mind, how many pints might you have drunk if you weren't actively monitoring your intake?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Wouldn't worry about it if you intend to carry on as before and that when you did sin it was bloody nice German beer.

I've had nothing now since the start of the year - just had a nothing and tonic actually, now about to have a cup of tea - Friday nights eh!

As you were FF!!
