It sounds like you already know that drinking is not a good answer to solve problems. We condition ourselves to think that alcohol is a reward, a good thing, that couldn’t be farther from the truth for people here. There will never be a “reason” do drink, only excuses. Best wishes!

I am just coming out of a long stretch of super stressful work life. If I didn’t navigate myself through it sober, I would have lost my mind and probably my job. Because I had all my wits about me, I slayed. I got promoted. And I feel awesome. Booze makes stress worse. Every single time. The only way through hard times is sober. I ended up learning a ton about myself working through all my stress clear headed . I learned new things I am capable of, I learned what situations are worthy of bigger reactions and which ones are not, and I felt like I could finally communicate effectively and advocate for myself. It was a big freaking deal. There were many times my addict brain tried telling me I deserved a reward, that I was strong enough to have control, that I needed to unwind. LIES. And just addict me using stress as an excuse to drink. What I deserved at the end of it all was that promotion. And a new pair of shoes. Which I bought because I’m a freaking hero.
