My trip to the liquor store
A lot of people here know that I am a recovering alcoholic. But today I went to a liquor store! My neighbor has been doing some work around my house, and charging far less than someone else. So I decided to treat him to a six pack of beer.
So I go into the liquor store, feeling as comfortable as a Baptist at a Swingers Convention. It was a store that had a lot of special brands of beer. If I treat someone to a six pack, I don't give Budwesier. (I may be an alcoholic but I have standards)
I select Sam Adams Summer Ale. I asked the clerk if this was a popular brand of beer. And adding with unnecessary empathatis (sp) "I don't drink" like she cared. lol I leave the store, hoping none of my fellow alcoholics see me! (They would probably think that I am getting a six pack for a friend)To get flowers, you need more than sunshine, you need chit and rain too

I always feel the need to say "Oh, its not for ME..." when I go to the liquor store and buy Ned's beer. Funny how that works, huh?
Congratulations, my nekkie friend, on your continued sobriety!

I got my former boss a 12 pack of Sam Adams as a going away gift and he really liked it. I told him that I hoped that it was a good beer because I didn't drink beer, that I was a margarita girl.

Its funny how we go out of the way to say the beer is not for ourselves! The clerks don't care and they probably have heard/seen it all. Besides, who cares what a liquor store clerk thinks? I didn't worry about that when I drank, so why worry about it now?

I think that is a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. Good for you for not being tempted and congratulations on your continued sobriety!
Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

HIGH 5's! Good for you! I only wish my EX would sober-up; not for me b/c I couldn't care a rat's behind if he ever stops. I do wish he would so he might try to re-build a realtionship with our boys. They are adults now & chose to remove him from their lives until he gets sober.
Me, I seldom ever drink but I am kind of craving sangria so one of these days I might stop in the liquoir store to buy a very small bottle. Hey one drink & I'm tipsy!Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.
