So glad you started this thread. I am getting lots of responses to my thread about discovering triggers that suggest that there is no such thing as a trigger. I don't get triggered reading posts, but being in face to face meetings where people tell drunk a logs was a major trigger for me.

What Supercrew and Recycle posted above seem right on to me. Some people seem to think that the mere act of respirating will make an alcoholic want to drink. I know that I respirate a lot and there are many days when I don't even think about it (drinking or respirating). So for me the idea of reprogramming how I think about certain situations makes a ton of sense. And reprogramming how I think about booze (for example, I have convinced myself that vodka is nasty and I actually make a pucker face just thinking about vodka - yuck).
