Welcome back Marjoram. Glad you're cracking the sobriety back open and have thought about what tools you're going to use.

I love it here in Michigan, you can fill your car with fuel, walk in the station to pay, buy a shotgun and ammo, nab a case of beer, a winning lotto ticket and be on your way.

It is really hard to walk past what is the battle we are facing. It's rewarding when we can do it. I remember always telling myself that I will feel great after I make it past. But, if I don't walk past and fall into that trap, that I will end up beating myself up. And I would fall into the trap, and I would feel horrible. It's a vicious circle that gets old.

I believe we have to accept that we just can't buy that one more bottle. We have to walk by. And with each time we pass by, we have to realize it's building our strength to do it again.

Good job to you on buying the cranberry juice!
