Advanced 'Steps' Recovery
 
We went into the grocery store Saturday afternoon to get the supplies to make tacos. I never cut through the alcohol aisles, I wander the long way through bakery, bread, & lunch meat just as the store is designed for shoppers (suckers) to do. So as I prepared to cut to the right, my husband marched straight through the beer aisle. Didn't even look to the right or left. He was focusing right in on the ground beef straight ahead.

I paused and watched him do it. Part of me wanted to clap, so I took the usual long way to gather my thoughts. I think he knew I was affected by his path as he reminded me his knees were aching and that WAS the shortest way to fresh meat from the entrance.

Well, Code....I sure can relate to the issue of aching knees....esp after walking on those hard floors in grocery stores........

I take it that he is sensitive to your thoughts and feelings.....

Good for him. It's one thing to make up excuses to get a vicarious charge out of being around alcohol, but when the shortest path from point A to point B is down the beer aisle it's silly to avoid it.
