Humble- I almost feel like I was reading my own story. I too would put my phone on silent so I would not have to talk to anyone while I drank at home alone. And much like you, I would go from one store to another so not to be "noticed".
I am only on day three and just threw out all the empty beer boxes this morning. It was eye opening to see how many I had to throw away from such a short period of time.
Mixer- Welcome to SR and I hope that you find it as beneficial as I have in this short period of time.
