There probably is no specific reason you drank. What I would focus on is your recovery plan itself. Do you do enough every day to be ready to face these kinds of things again? Because they will happen again, and probably even stronger, it's only a question of when the next temptation will be. What could you add to the arsenal so the next time you see this man? Perhaps a more regimented plan to come here? Perhaps a local support group with live people to call? I had to accept without question that there would be times I wouldn't be able to do it alone....I think you may have found one too.
