OMG that is SO amazing that the clerk said no. I wish more bartenders, store clerks, liquor store workers, would say no. I wish society would say no.
Sorry, that is off-topic.
In response to your plight, I find that the less I think about my exabf and the more I do things for myself, the better I feel. I know you're a nurse and all that, but it's so important to let go.
I had to break up with my x because his drinking threatened my safety and physical security-that doesn't matter, he won't stop. So, this was his choice. When we broke up, I made it clear: THIS IS YOUR CHOICE.
Therefore, I had to wash my hands of him.
I know it's hard. I know it's painful. You are gonna drive yourself crazy tho, and in the meantime, you have your own hurt and pain to deal with. I'm choosing to focus on me. After all, that's what my xabf did, isn't it?

He was dirty from head to toe. He went to the fridge, and got out a big can of beer. He came up to the dest to pay. I was right next to him. He was digging out change to pay. The worker there told him, no. He said, "I will not sell you that beer." The guy looked like he was going to cry. I was going to cry!! I couldn't help but think of my AH. Mine is out there somewhere, God knows where. When did he shower last, or eat a meal. I watched this guy walk out the door, calmly, but disappointed. =( I walked out wanting to say something, but nothing came out of my mouth. But, all I know, is there was a reason God wanted me to see that. Not sure what it is though. So, so sad. I bet he has a family, somewhere that he has worried, wondering, sad. ...
