So, i went out with 2 friends. Not a huge deal, they don’t drink, and I wasnt worried about being tempted. I was a little nervous, as in the past I would always have a beer or 2. What if they say something, when I order an Ice Tea. They don’t know the extent of my problem. I had no desire, to tell them in that environment.
A friend suggested I say something to the affect, that I have a yeast issue in my stomache, and the doctor told me to stay away from yeast…no one wants to hear about stomache issue…we then joked about, add in It gives me diarrhea, that will end the conversation.
So I get to the restuarant…there 13 people there, i know the two…thats it…makes me nervous…but I have my yeast story if there is a question.
Everyone starts ordering a beer…even my 2 friends, who I have nevet seen drink. Nerves, are kicking hard. Waitress gets to me. I order an Ice Tea. My friend says, “come on Scott, have beer like normal, we are celebrating”
I panic, my brain stops…my story, whats my story…
I exclaim loudly, “i have diarrhea!”. How loud? Every thing stops, no noise. All the tables around us turn and look at me. I just kinda look at everyone looking at me. FML.
So I look at the waitress, “ya, i will have an ice tea…oh and a water”…after what feels lik an eternity…people stop looking at me at resume conversations.
Hey, I didnt drink while everyone else was!..cross that restaurant off my list of places i can go
