I have 5 liquor stores nearby. I used to plan which one i went to on a given day so they didnt know i was drinking an 18 pack everynight. How fucked up is that....

Sounds like you are in the right place now, John! We all have crazy stuff we did during active addiction… I’ve heard it all. The stuff that gets my motor running is hearing about the resiliency of sober people… every day is a new day to become the best version of yourself

Resiliency......good word. Starting again. Angry i didnt have what it took today usually it is work.... this week it was a poorly behaved member of the family ( mom in law) i am so disappointed in myself i let her affect me or trigger me........
I live in Milwaukee.. I counted 23 places to buy alcohol on my way home from work. In a 15 minute drive… the mental gymnastics we play when in the throws of addiction are incredible. I used to obsess on counting how many beers I had in the fridge so I knew if I had enough for the night or should I stop to get more, because I didn’t want to have to drive if I was a 12 pack in… but I could walk to the corner anyway. Messed up right?!? Get to a program. AA worked for me. The program showed me the insanity of my addiction. Sounds to me like you are a step ahead of where I was. Good luck man. The peace is there for you.. just gotta want it more than the drink.
Once upon a time, I knew where every liquor store in my area was and their hours. I planned my life around being at different stores at different times each day so no one would guess I was an alcoholic.
Yeah, normal people need to go to the liquor store at least once a day.

Yes! I avoided the drive through I went to all of the time, because when I pulled up, each employee already knew which wine to grab, and they would say "see you in a little while" because they knew I'd be back 
now I enjoy going through and asking for things like an energy drink! They no longer pre grab the wine 
Nice Courtney....
I went to my most visited local liquor store today and bought a 12 pack of seltzer and some Paul Newman lemonade....they said "that's all?" suprised. Said "yep". It felt good.
