26,
yes, looking "behind" the desire to drink was a tool i used whenever the seeming desire popped up. after the first little while not drinking, it was obvious that the urge had stuff "behind" it. at the very least associations and habits.
mostly, though, i go for finding the feelings that provoked that particular urge.
and then from there...
you'll find your way, 26.
good going on last night!
yep, lots of people around who don't drink, and oh-how-weird: people CAN have fun without it.
it takes time. trying new things. learning yourself in a new way, so to speak.
keep going
