I have an acquaintance who is on the wagon. Probably good for him, right?
So yesterday I'm scrolling the headlines at the Huffington Post and my eye is caught by the weird-let's-connect-everybody-all-the-time section that tells me (as if I care) which HuffPo articles my friends are reading.
And so, quite accidentally, I learn that my wagon-riding pal has read, "Classic Drink Recipes for Today's Economy."
And so now I'm worried about my friend's drinking, and his finances too.
Most people I know in Alcoholics Anonymous hate the phrase, “on the wagon.” You can fall off of a wagon.
If your acquaintance was thinking about drinks, he should get to a meeting or call his sponsor.
But maybe he was getting a chuckle out of an amusing article–even if it was on the subject of drinking? The link didn’t work for me, so I couldn’t tell if the article was humorous.
Remember that he’s trying to stay sober, not somber. Let him laugh a little, as long as he keeps the big picture in mind.
Ah, this guy’s a candy-ass wagon jumper, Tom, not a real genuine alky. If I know him, he’s doin’ it to lose weight, or some stupid thing like that.
Now that’s a job you don’t see posted every day: candy-ass wagon jumper.
I could stand to lose a little weight, myself. Doing sets of 12-oz. curls at the bar never seemed to help, though.
So confused. Didn’t think you had any sober friends.
