Amelia, thank you so much for you post and your PM!! This one means a lot to me.
Marshy, I absolutely CRINGE when I think of the way I drank my way through absolutely everything. The morning drinking being the most cringeworthy, and MAN I did a lot of that. I can relate to you "stocking up" in the morning hours on your way home (while trying hard NOT to look like you were ready to crack open the bottle before you got out of the store) then drinking through those "just got home" chores. There is a store call Sam's Club here in the US. It's a big BIG warhouse / discount type place. The prices are good but you can only buy thing in large quantities. Wow. THAT was convenient. The liquor section sold huge bottles of Smirnoff for the cheapest price in town.
You have to be a member of Sam's to shop there, and if you have a business you can be a business member. Business members get to shop from 7AM until the official opening at 9 or 10AM for all members. I can't tell you the number of times I was there at 7AM to buy Vodka. Then I would go buy some other stuff so it didn't look like I went there at 7AM because I needed a fix.
GEEZ I'm glad I'm not doing that crapola any more. Sobriety ROCKS.
DG
