Gotta love savings the money. The grocery store I go to piles up the wine and beer at an entrance of the store and the isle is straight ahead, I had gotten really good at turning right toward the produce section or left to the rest of the store. I have now gotten much better just walking right on by without a care, I have to, the chips are on that isle too. lol
My anxiety\panic has improved a great deal in my 5(ish) weeks, but I tried to buy-in-bulk when I needed to go to the store during the first couple weeks.

I like shopping Target too. They have a
nice isle for ur pets.
When seeing alcohol where ever I go,
I know it's there and would have to be
blind to not see it, however, i dont stand
there and dream about what if or maybes.
The end result if I give in will always be
the same. Drunk, shame, guilt, disappointments,
and remorse.
As soon as the thought of alcohol enters
my brain, i quickly say my Serenity Prayer
that I memorized and imbedded in my mind
and brain. I say it over and over and over
again till the urge disappears.
Accepting the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can, and
the wisdom to know the difference.
Continue shopping and dont forget to
smile because you are stronger than
you think you are. Yeah..!

I am considering going to a meeting and just watching/listening to everyone until I get more comfortable with the experience.
