Thanks SFgirl for your advice.I really appreciate your post and I'm sure it will be useful to many.
I may sound very sure of myself, with the big ego that alcoholic's are supposed to have, probably with a lot of the terminal uniqueness that is intrinsec to them too, but I don't believe I have emotional, nor psychological problems. My triggers are not emotional, though I could find any reason to drink if I thought I needed one. I've never seen à psychologist, never felt the need too. I'm not depressive, on the contrary I'm much closer to a Pollyanna. In my life if there are things I don't like I try to change them. If I can't, I learn to accept them and don't let them get me down. I don't like my alcoholism, I can change and I will, it won't be easy, but I will learn from my mistakes, and I learn from others too. In this thread I've already picked and chosen some very pertinent suggestions, and I will start applying immediately. If that's not enough and I relapse again (and I will not use the excuse that relapse goes with recovery) I will figure out again what went wrong and why.
