ggplot2: How to reposition break lines next to bars in geom_bar instead of at the middle of the bar?

I have the following figure.
As you can see the breaklines for the x scale (which is scaled discrete in this case) go right through the different bars. I want to these breaklines to form "lanes" in which the bars are nicely fitted. So instead of having my breaks go through the bar, I would like them to lie at the edge of each bar.
I experimented a lot with the scale_x_discrete function but just can't seem to figure out how to achieve this...
r ggplot2 geom-bar

Welcome to SO! Could you make your problem reproducible by sharing a sample of your data and the code you're working on so others can help (please do not usestr(),head()or screenshot)? You can use thereprexanddatapastapackages to assist you with that. See also Help me Help you & How to make a great R reproducible example?

You can create some fake gridlines using geom_vline while hiding the true gridlines.
library(tidyverse)
data <- data.frame(x = letters[1:10], y = runif(10), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
data %>%
ggplot(aes(x, y)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
coord_flip() +
geom_vline(xintercept = seq(1.5, 9.5, 1), color = "white") +
theme(panel.grid = element_blank())
