It may be sitting close to you, in a bottle behind the bar or on the counter of a store, but it can't get you drunk unless you buy it and pour it down your throat.
That's the great value of having a plan to stay sober. But it's down to you, not your GF to sort it out.
I don't expect you to read all the post I or anyone for that matter post. But if you had read my previous post you would know that my weakest point is a bar. Me + walk into a bar = I drink; is how that equation works out for me. Everyone has different weak points, mine is a bar.
Walking into a store with booze is way different than being in a bar. For one, 98% of people at a bar are drinking alcohol around me. Its not on a aisle that I could avoid, its everywhere in your face, so that is not a valid comparison.
She wants to help me get sober then she should be more aware of where she plans for us to go; I don't make plans, I just go with the flow.
In the end if I drink, its on me. But you know what, when I drink I don't really care. She cares more about than I do...
