I just give them a quick lick as I go by - the dust off the really good ones is enough to put me off.

I've been imagining the skull and cross bones on each bottle I see... It helps with the glow that I see too. Also, this is macabre, but I see it as suiside in a bottle. Death. It sends shivers down my spine and gets me past the isle.

I have no cravings on baclofen but I do remember something which helped me in the past.
I would brush my teeth with lots of minty toothpaste before going to the grocery store. Somehow for me clean minty teeth are anathema to drinking most things.
Also I would "rehearse" my tour through the grocery store. I would rehearse walking past the scary places until it became more doable and less scary. I would remind myself that I am making a good choice and not missing out on anything good.
Another thing which helped was I would call someone who knew what I was going through before and after the trip to the store. I also told them I would call from the store if I had overwhelming temptations.
Every little thing helps but the baclofen was the biggest help. Now I am not afraid to go anywhere.
Congratulations on your 8 days. That is awesome
