Catholicism is one of my hobbies, so I gave up drinking for Lent this year. I don't, however, actually believe in God, so my resolve has wavered.
Okay, the atheism had nothing to do with it. My resolve wavered because I really like drinking. So I gave up giving up drinking for Lent.
I'm a drunkard, but I'm a really lazy, inefficient one. Last week I was driving home from work and thinking "Damn, I really want a drink, but there's no alcohol in the house! Damn!" And the whole time, I'm driving past various grocery, convenience, and liquor stores, but I'm too lazy to stop to buy something to drink. So I get home and spend the rest of the evening STILL thinking, "Damn, I really want a drink, but there's no alcohol in the house!"
So is that more pathetic or less pathetic than being the drunkard who stops for the drink?
