That’s not a true confession, that’s judging. Whatever your feelings on the situation, this thread isn’t about judgement.
I would love a Brendan’s anonymous stories thread.
Perfect description… Where do i subscribe?
TC: I thought I was confessing my feelings on the situation.
not you. a post that’s now been dispatched to the ether.
stories that anonymous people tell me? isn’t that what this thread already is?

Back to our usual programming…
TC: Someone texted me a joke about poo during a very tedious research seminar about econometrics or something and coffee came out of my nose in front of everyone.
Tell us the joke.
Yes, tell us.
I bet it’s shit
TC: I’m reading the interwebz until I feel sober enough to ride homw
hahah, couple of beers after work??!
TC: this makes me feel horribly uncomfortable.
Impromptu wine-stash sharing sesh. Surprising how much wine people at my workplace have stashed in their cupboards.
On way home servo pie on the rock wall at Stkilda tasted so good.
Are we allowed to do someone else’s true confessions?
One of my mates took a hookup back to his work and drank a bottle of grange from the work cellar.
That’s badass
Tc, I can’t remember the last day I didn’t have a drink. Not that I drink much, on,y Fridays or Saturdays (rarely both) will I have more than 5 standard drinks. But most days, there’s rum in my tea, schnapps in my coffee, beer with my dinner, or something atleast. Is this a bad thing? My old boss always used to rant that it was bad, but he ranted about everything.
I don’t think the rum/tea schnapps/coffee combos are overly common, but I’d say the rest is relatively normal.
If you told me that when you came to hospital, I’d probably put you on an Alcohol Withdrawal Scale chart. You might not score anything, but you might. I think it’s a good idea for everyone to try to have one or two (or more) alcohol free days (AFDs) at least per week. When I started doing it about 6 months after moving to Darwin, it was surprising how much I missed having a drink in the evening. I was withdrawing. Mildly, but withdrawing.
Maybe try and add an AFD into your week.
