My local grocery store has a full bar, actually a full bar and a separate wine bar. For five dollars you can shop for your weekly sustenance with a yummy glass of poison!

Tonight as I was descending the escalator into the store and staring at the bar patrons (well, not them; their drinks) i had the physical sensation of holding a glass of wine.

Then an insidious voice whispered, "it doesn't count as long as you chug it.". I believed it for a second, then picked up a bunch of radishes and moved on.

Anyone else had stupid thoughts like that?

Probably everyone who reads this

Edit: Good job shutting that voice up!

good for you for treating that thought with the contempt it deserves

Good for you! I would have walked away from both!

Good for you.

If it were me, I would have to find a new grocery store.

If you have ever heard of Avart then that was the devil voice speaking to you. Not you. Separate yourself from that voice because it is not you. Hang in there

I think that kinda goes along with the insanity of our thinking in regards to our drinking. I would definitely need a new grocery store.

Duke: I just ordered the AVRT book tonight. Looking forward to reading more about it.

Frankly there is little real temptation to drink and shop because I've always thought people look really stupid doing it. Ive even seen people on DATES.

My irrational mind just created this doozy of a dream scenario:

Sitting at a table on my business trip. While I don't drink that doesn't mean I can't order a glass of wine and look at it to prove my strength, right? So I order the drink (in my mind), it comes to the table, I stare at the drink with firm resolve to not drink it....then my mind whispers "well, its there just have a sip.". I go to grab the glass....

Then the real me snaps back to life. I actually laughed.

Moving on...

I would have had to find another grocery store.

People going out on dates to the grocery store? O...kay!

Way to go for resisting the temptation!! I think I would also have to find another store!! And I have to say the dating thing just cracked me up!!! A grocery store just doesn't sound that romantic to me!! Lol Lind

Next time you get the urge, just stuff some radishes in your mouth, lol.

God bless.

Yes.. Had one just now. "Wish we had those in AZ, we only occasionally get drink samples (mouthwash sized) at our grocery stores". They are free though and usually served by attractive women.
