On The Wagon - Day 3

Two posts back I remember saying I rarely finish last in things I try hard at. Perhaps I'm not trying hard enough, because the beer has taken the upper hand in this 'on the wagon' lark.

Day one was Friday and I succumbed to one pint of (weak) homebrew. I managed no better on Saturday and as for Sunday; it was hell. An eleven hour stint, crunching numbers at the keyboard, while getting my copy prepared for the newspaper. And all around me, as I endeavored to do my best, the family pushed the boundaries to the limit.

I know it's their weekend, but it's my work day. Where's the respect?

Needless to say I hit the hombrew hard, once work was done. The upside was that I slept well. But that's three days and I'm yet to have an alcohol free day.

I know it's rubbish. But today is Monday and I won't be touching a drop. Promise :)

  1. You seem to have a similar amount of willpower when it comes to beer as I do. i.e. very little!

    Didnt have a beer yesterday but a glass of something decent most nights is an all too tempting prospect

  3. Hope it's going better this week! We're been on holiday for a week and now off work at home for a week, and I've had a drink every day so far which is unusual for me, tend to only drink Friday-Sunday and I'm now getting to the point where I'm thinking the one good thing about going back to work will be getting back to a normal diet! ;)
