Roselian. I managed to limit my drinking from daily to very heavy on the weekend starting Thursday or Friday. I can identify a lot my triggers and the associated thoughts promoting drinking. Despite my understanding I have been struggling to get a clean weekend for a year. I have also concluded that we can't "unlearn" and this seems to be central to the problem. we can however learn new things, and strategies etc. The longer we don't drink the less powerful the emotional pull, or compulsive drive will become for a given "trigger", which for me the biggest is Friday night (of any variety). Good luck.
