I guess I kind of lump "triggers", "cravings", "causes", "excuses" and several other iterations into "reasons our addiction uses to try and get us to drink".
I don't really know that identifying specific events/emotions is as important "triggers" really does all that much good. Because we can always come up with other ones, our addiction is the master at finding new reasons to get us drinking. What is very important in my mind ( and in my recovery ) is reminding myself that there is NO justifiable reason for me to drink...PERIOD.
