I'm like you in that I usually wanted to drink when things were going good, or when I felt excited, to amplify it further. This, or just wanting to control my reactions chemically (eg. sleep when I did not feel like it etc). Adversary and especially acute stress, and crisis was hardly a trigger for me.
I really like how you reacted to this urge today: you posted about it before acting on it, and are vigilant about how drinking now might cause even more or new kinds of disruptions compared with your old patterns. Way to go, AO
Well, stuff yourself with the results of your cooking project and let those urges vanish to hell! Eating was always the best remedy for me to treat acute cravings.
