Hi CurlyGirl , drink your hot caramel chocolate, sounds delicious and the craving will pass. Anything can trigger it.
But it's not so much the trigger (addictive voice) but how you deal with it.

I learnt a lot of knowledge from this forum and books so as to deal with my addictive brain.

One thing for me, which made sense and stayed with me about our addictive brain is there are like receptors and when we feed them , more receptors want some, and this happens the more we feed them the more they want,

So, even though I've been sober over two years the triggers appear sometimes, albeit fewer and if for some insane reason I think I could drink again like normal people, if a reminder of my past trying to stop for years and drink sensibly was brushed aside, then I would remember that little innocent lonely receptor which after one drink would become an army demanding more drink.
