Thanks everyone!
1newcreation -- just to clarify, I asked my question purely out of curiosity and not because I was considering drinking. Nononononononono. It's just that you so often hear people say they started drinking out of anger, or anxiety, or God forbid, grief, or something else negative that I felt weird that those emotions, as a rule, do not trigger a desire to drink for me at all. It's more the opposite -- it's the unusually happy or contented moments that are most dangerous for me!
Fortunately, I'll have two weeks sober tomorrow and it's been pretty easy going -- so far. But I know that the worst thing I can do is get complacent, and that once I'm actually employed again and feeling more secure/happy, that the urges might get stronger and more frequent. This forum is helping me SO MUCH to stay vigilant! So thanks to you and to everyone for that.
