Brendan ~ you are SO right in that we just don't "belong" in places like that. Years ago I never thought I'd say anything like that. LOL  But even now, if we go into a pub for a pizza, I cannot WAIT to get out of there, because of the local drunks in there. They drive me insane, and to think I used to be one of them.  OHHH the shame of it!
Today I'm so grateful that I DO have the coping skills to deal with stuff like that. While I SELDOM EVER go into those places, the very few times I do, I can at least handle it for the short time I'm there. I haven't had cravings in years, thank God and THOSE places surely don't trigger me. Perhaps it's good to go in there occasionally to remind me how blessed I am to be sober! 
Thanks for the post Brendan! God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
