It's an automatism, do something enough times and you'll do it without even thinking about it. The more you don't do it, the more the automatism goes away.
I never bought alcohol when I didn't want to drink, but I remember during my more recent heavy drinking period I was buying my beer from a grocery street across the park from me. One day I went in, picked up chips and a 12-pack, went home, put the beer in the fridge and one bottle in the freezer... and then remembered the reason I went to the store in the first place was to get rice and eggs...
Good luck from now on.
