Sat in front of the package store for a half an hour

Friday after work I sat out in front of a package store just watching people walk in and out getting their beer, wine or whatever they drink.
I had a very bad week.....I had been suffering from a tooth abcess and had the tooth pulled and was in pain all week.
But, the most important discovery that week was the startling truth of my alcoholism.
You see, I live with a very difficult person to get along with, my boyfriend has anger issues and he takes out all of his anger out on me. The night before he exploded to the point where I packed a bag grabbed the dog and left. Of course I came back but, I realize now that I was drinking to escape his anger.
So, here I am in front of the package store wanting to go in thinking about what I would get......and then I stop myself......what is drinking going to do ? Yeah I'll forget about what happened until tomorrow morning it will still be there.
I left and went back home and made dinner sober and I am glad I did.
