What MIR said. I'm also a binge drinker, and I will go weeks without drinking and have little or no temptation. And then wham, I start thinking I can control my drinking and that desire for a beer buzz comes on incredibly strong. Be prepared for that moment.
But, at the same time, don't spend time waiting for the other shoe to drop. Be aware of potential danger, but don't dwell on "falling"; otherwise, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
