Beer at work (?)

Today, I walk into the break room and there are 10 beers on the table .
Full cans, I became good at counting...LOL
Random kinds of beer.....Mostly what I would drink ....
WEIRD. Never seen that BEER cans , its usually other free bad stuff like DONUTS or pastries!!!
It was kind of a mental challenge, No a REAL BIG mental challenge .....
to NOT take them home...my mind wandered.....
BUT I simply left the room and didnt return for coffee as usual later
WHEW....
Early sobriety temptations are weird!
BUT I DID GOOD!

Wow, that’s so weird! Maybe the universe trying to tempt you? Were they there later? Did you find out where they came from? Anyway, glad you resisted!

You did real good Ascended.

Saw someone on TV drinking Rose (don't know how to accent), it looked so light, so fresh, so harmless. Quickly shook myself out of that one.

Well done.

We rock!

There is all kinds of free stuff from my work.
Wine. Beer. More Wine. More Beer. Try this and that. Weird Chickpea chips that no one wants.....

You walked away and you did really well! BRAVO! Keep doing that!

At one time I lived in Denver, and Coors Brewery in Golden was one of my clients. They had beer available on tap in the cafeteria. It was fun to have one or two, as many of the employees did. But those were very different times, and it was Denver, lol - drinking beer at lunch was not really considered an issue.

Good job on resisting it!

If tempted we recoil from it as from a hot flame. (from the big book)
