My Sober Partner left me out?

A friend of mine agreed with me last summer to quit drinking. Our agreement was that if one wanted a drink we would try and talk each other out of it. However, if we were to be determined to have a drink we would have the initial one together.

He evidently had a drink a few days ago (I think while he was traveling on business) and e-mailed me today to let me know.

I feel let down that I didn't have the opportunity to talk him out of it, or to say yes or no to giving in to my drinking buddy....

How would you feel?

I would feel good that he let me know.. he could've just ignored you and never told you about it..

Being an Alcoholic myself we have a saying " one drink is too many and a 1000 is not enough " meaning it is always the first drink that leads to the 1000th.

I would think that he wants to drink so he had a drink and then told you. Now that the pact is broken he can drink again..
