If it's absolutely not possible for you not to watch TV for a while, then I reckon you have a great opportunity to learn to live with triggers and react differently here, CM
I drank all day everyday. My world was *full* of triggers.
I learn that it was ok to feel cravings or urges - I didn't have to give into them.
It was rough to start with, but I had support here, and in time they faded and lessened.
I learned thoughts are thoughts, desires are desires - it's how I reacted that counted.
Urge surfing was a great help to me - it might be useful to you too CM?
