This might sound silly but for me it’s a nice clear afternoon because I loved setting on the deck with friends and drinking to another day. Now I fill those afternoons with a walk or doing something in the yard. Still not to the point that I can set out on the deck with the rest of therm though

Anxiety is definitely number 1. Also, alcohol is a trigger for my cocaine addiction and vice versa.

Depression and seeing movies and shows where people enjoy their time in a pub/bar (like HIMYM or SOA). Also, when friends talk about their activities while inebriated.

Road trips with friends are my biggest triggers. This is the reason i m cancelling my tour to my another office in different city from past couple of weeks. But now i really have to go in coming week. I will be joined by my colleagues. I am sure I will stay strong.

Yeah that one too for me.

Could be just about anything,if I let it.I didn’t need a reason to drink,people had to prove a reason to me not to drink. I could make an excuse to drink out of anything and if I couldn’t,well that was a reason to drink.I know this sounds made up,but it’s how I lived. As I say,“used to live”, not now. Sounds so good to say it that way.

My triggers are insomnia,movies or shows with a lot of sexual content,I guess anything I could potentially use as porn. But I’m working on retraining my mind,with God’s help.

Me too!!! I guess I maybe get a little complacent when happy and then have big old drink to take me back to zero.
