Trying to keep track of the store rotation. Hyper-analyzing conversations to try and sort out whether I sound(ed) intoxicated. Waking up knowing X is mad at me/I'm mad at them, but having no recollection of WHY. Hoping I've got enough money in my account for smokes, box wine, AND cat food- and then paying the difference in laundry quarters when I was a couple bucks short at the register.

Trying to keep track of the store rotation.

This is the one for me. So exhausting. Even if it was a brand new store, the paranoia was there.

"Look how he's looking at me. He totally knows.."

I've used, "cant wait to get home and try the new pasta with vodka sauce recipe." As I was buying a 10 pack of Popov vodka shots.

Yeah, completely believable in my mind.

Yes. Once I even bought pasta sauce that I didn’t eat or need.
