I drank all the time for everything, so I guess all things were triggers. When I made up my mind to quit, the ONLY thing I've had to learn to cope with is the voice in my head telling me I could have just one, or that I wasn't that bad, or I'll just "relapse" this once and then start over, or no one cares so why shouldn't I, or I was happier drinking, or I can hide it and not tell anyone, etc etc. I always cope with the voice by laughing at myself, because I know I am not alone, and lots of people here are listening to the same self-bs. So far so good, I laugh, voice shuts up, each time for a little longer. Haven't tried to convince myself to drink in weeks now.
