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

[Fab Foodie]

Thank you, you lovely bunch of fruit-cakes

Yenners, could you make that 2 Bloody Marys rather than Hail Marys?

Waffley, I certainly need a good thrashing

tdrinka, We'd have certainly drank more, the Ruskies were encouraging 500ml glasses, but we went for girly 300s. You're right, If it wasn't for the abstaining we'd have drunk 500s and more pints, plus possibly some Vodka. We only had to get to the airport this morning, so being rough was not an issue.

3-bikes, you're right... it was a worthy sacrifice

Naughty Step for you FF

And smug smiley for me

Damn your smug smileyness

Damn your smug smileyness

Sounds bad, I think I'd rather be on a naughty step with supernanny than Noodley (or is that the other way round?).

Come to think... [strokes chin mode/]
Has anybody ever seen Supernanny and Noodley in the same room?

 

[marinyork]

No. I haven't and Noodley does watch a lot of day time tv... hmmm

Think of it this way FF, you've had almost two weeks of not drinking, so what if you had a couple one night? The idea is to reduce alcohol intake (as you said all along), not stop drinking forever.

Of course, the fact that you felt rough the next day just shows how much you can value feeling clear-headed following non-drinking days.

I'd say treat it like being on a weight-loss diet and scoffing a Dairy Milk - there's no need to say, "Oh well, no point carrying on now with the diet, I've ruined it" - just continue where you were. That way you can look back on 31st March and be proud at the money and brain cells you've saved

Jo -> drinking her squash, 14 booze-free days done so far...sorry, had to get the smug bit in

 

[slowmotion]

FF, I am awestruck by your honesty. Top man.

FF, I am awestruck by your honesty. Top man.

Too true. I also understand the position you were in, and I'd have done exactly the same. As full abstinence isn't really a must, treat the night for what it was and carry on the booze free lifestyle.

Top man for owning up, you could have cheated yourself and said nothing...

Wagon draws up beside FF, sitting on a log confessing to a raccoon.
"...and I went an dented ma hat too -can you believe that?"

"Say pardner, looks like you had yourself a minor wagon related incident there. Y'all dust yourself down an git back up here. Stumpy, put some coffee on for this here feller. And Stumpy? Throw in a hug too - takes a lot fir a man t' step forward like that. Shoot - Am gonna start cryin' again. Wagon ho!"

FF, after your initial post I believe we find that not only is your integrity intact it is also to be admired.

*pssst. Now hurry up and 'out smug' Noodley while you still can!*

Good honesty....but if commited to the challenge it sounds like starting again from Day 1 - that way you can prove to yourself you can do it again.

I'm not sure why I am in a position to offer advice, I am young, foolish, and currently drunk. Infact, don't listen to me, just do the hail mary shiz

Top points for honesty!

 

[Noodley]

This is too much!

Here I am, sitting with litres of alcohol not more than 20 metres away from me, sticking to the task without as much as a waver, and FF goes out on the piss with his mates and he gets congratulated for being honest about it!

But I shall not be swayed from the path of abstention....

 

[Bayerd]

..you make your choices....

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I think I'll have another beer.

FF, congratulations for being honest but it doesn't alter the fact that you have failed. To correct the problem start again but this time for six months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
