There will always be wine and liquor lining the shelves
here and there and there isn't a thing I can do about that,

except.....

I don't have to look at it. I don't have to like it. I don't need
to fantasize about it.

However,

I can accept the fact that liquor isnt going to go away anytime
soon and I can avoid being around it. Alcohol has a right to be
there, so for this alcoholic in recovery, I need to leave it alone.

Don't approach, ecnor, avoid, walk away, say my Serenity
prayer over and over till the urge leaves. (Something I did
a many a times in early recovery helping to a achieve another
day sober.)

Focus on recovery and continuous sobriety leaving our
addictions in the rear view window moving forward.
