Congrats on your 13 days. My advice is one thing at a time. I might have other "vices" other than alcohol but even if you could combine them all and then muliply them by 7, none would reach the havoc that alcohol caused me.

Just remember that "more will be revealed". If you can stay in recovery things in your life will have a way of working themselves out. What I hear when I read your post is your having trouble being in your own skin right now and that is the reason you are looking to shopping. If it were me, I'd call another alcoholic, pray to my Higher Power, try and do some service work, and make a gratitude list. Getting out of ourselves during moments like these is the only defense we really have.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!
