Yup. I used to go to different stores every other day and tried to time it so that different people would be working so it never looked like I was drinking so much. I'm sure my red bloated face gave it away though.
Now I notice when people are carrying out cases of beer or having handles in their cart and I just get a little sad. I hope for them, they are not like me and it's not just their nightly routine. I hope they are able to socially drink in moderation and it's not a problem for them.
But I love going to the stores now, and checking out, without a drop in my groceries. No internal shame (as if the cashiers even care). Each time feels like a little victory.
