I can SO relate to this, grocerease. I'm a Floridian and while preparing for Irma I had a similar experience. I went into a convenience store and had my hand on a four-pack of my usual poison (and in my previous adult dealings with hurricanes I was usually quite drunk during them.) I nearly allowed myself to ruin 22 months of sobriety but I closed the cooler door and walked away. I realized it would have only made matters far worse; I would have gained nothing but a hangover, horrible guilt and crushing anxiety on top of worries about the storm. (I posted about this.) Congratulations on making the sane, strong decision and on day 3. Keep it up, and best wishes that Nate causes minimal disruption-we're still de-stressing here. There is nothing in this world that alcohol will not make infinitely worse.
