Ran out of the supermarket
Went to get bread and milk & had to walk past booze isle, I was swearing at the bottles in my head, saying it weren't going to suck me in & got out of there pretty quick with just my bread and milk thank god

It took me awhile but I "finally" figured out I didn't have to walk through the wine section to get to the natural food section....I make a big loop around. It isn't as convenient but it is better for my mental health! Good for you! This will get easier!!!

it's no coincidence that every supermarket puts the booze in the direct-line of the designed traffic flow.
Going out of your way to avoid it can become a fun little game. Watching others' reaction as you navigate the entire place opposite the 'flow' is actually quite entertaining.

I was really surprised. My grocery store doesn't carry O'Doul's. I searched the beer cooler for ten minutes.
You should have heard the beast.
"THAT ONE! NO?

"HOW BOUT THAT ONE? "
"For my sake, GRAB ANYTHING!"

In time the bottles won't cry out to you, they'll just be things you don't buy. Like anchovies. Who besides my grandpa and penguins eats anchovies?
*edit to say - oh, you're in France. Maybe they eat anchovies there. Well, insert some food you don't like
