Your plan (lifestyle changes, friend changes and triggers) are essential to really considering so you are prepared for the great days ahead of you! Most importantly, welcome!
Triggers is something I need to address, and I think that, this time quitting, is going to be a greater hurdle.
I mentioned above how I get after having even one drink. But I've noticed that, since starting school at a university and dorming, that at times I enter the alcoholic mindset before I drink. Last Tuesday, while I was in class, I was saying to myself that I wouldn't drink that night, that I'd catch up on some work and finish a book I was reading and then have food and sleep--- but the moment that class ended, and there being no classes on Wednesday and therefore a night where everyone on campus is drinking, I just, instantly, and without even realizing it, ended up in a car, at the liquor store, and then spent the entire night drunk.
I know some triggers--- but this is a new one. And even last week, I was very confused about this the next morning. I genuinely do not know how or why it happened; I had a whole plan even to be sober. But for whatever reason, just because it was a Tuesday night, I ended up blowing everything off just so I could sit in my room and drink.
The more I talk about this the more frightening it gets. Honestly.
