I don't think that's weird at all. The majority if my drinking was done alone too by choice. I would stop at a favorite spot for a few beers on the way home from work, but the heavy drinking was done by myself out in the garage or wherever else I could hide from everyone while I was doing it.

That's why for me personally, it wasn't so much about avoiding "triggers" or drinking situations...I drank all the time, everywhere for the most part. I had to make the transition to learning how to live my life purposefully without alcohol...instead of just trying to "not drink". In other words, the problem was ME - not people or things around me.
