Good morning, Marchers!
Welcome, Briar! It always feels good when someone who has been reading for awhile finally feels comfortable enough to post :-)
Daisy, I understand the store thing ... Been there, done that. What worked for me was 1) mapping a route through the store that avoided the booze, 2) shopping early in the am when I wasn't tempted and 3) putting it off by reminding myself that if I was determined to buy some, I would have to do that on a separate trip to the store. So I'd get home with my groceries, put my car in the garage and put away my groceries. Then I'd get involved in something that would occupy my mind so I didn't think about drinking - reading a book, doing a jigsaw puzzle, cleaning ... etc. This may seem like a long explanation all to avoid buying booze at the store but it made a big difference for me. It wasn't perfect but helped me make progress. Now i can go to the store and not buy alcohol. Good luck to you on finding the strategies that work for you!
Have a great day to all!
Hugs,
Sassy
