What do you have in England/Canada?
Can you just walk into a drug store and get opiates?
I quit drinking a long time ago and can walk into a liquor store and buy something for a party so that's no big deal. I guess the same thinking applies for over the counter drugs too.
Resisting the temptation gets far easier the more time passes.

I caught myself!
I?ve just caught myself doing something and I?m not sure why I?m doing it.
My brother supposedly hasn?t had a drink since he left hospital, his friend is letting everyone know how well he?s doing. He caught up with me (the friend) on my way back from the bus stop the other day, he was under the impression I wasn?t speaking to my brother and we weren?t friends. I told him we do speak, but I choose not to get involved in lots of things surrounding my brother, he knew that anyway. So he started to tell me how well bro is doing, how he can now go in the pub and drink Becks Vier and that?s great because it?s non alcoholic.
Now, what my brother drinks and how much he drinks is nothing to do with me and not something I want to get involved in again (been there, done some counting in the past) but I know for sure that Becks Vier is alcoholic, and I said so, and I said so to my mum when she told me the same ?good news? story. I get told now that I?m being negative and don?t support my brother!
What do they want me to do? Pretend the beer is non alcoholic when I know it?s not? Pat him on the back for drinking something someone else has told him is ?safe?? Or convince myself that I?ve got it wrong and the drink isn?t alcoholic? I don?t feel a need for answers to any of those questions except the last one. If I?ve got my facts wrong I?ll hold my hands up and say so, but I?m 99% sure there isn?t a non alcoholic version of Becks Vier, not in England anyway.
The thing I caught myself doing was searching the name to find out, but not to prove it to myself, to prove it to them. I?m happy I?m right so I?m leaving it at that. If he?s happy to drink the stuff, alcoholic or not, it?s not my problem
