I don't 'miss' drinking or want to do it (though I see where you were coming from with the question when you asked!!) -- as I said, when it came to mind, I wasn't questioning if it was something I was going to do. I still think it's a fair bit of conditioning, and I've conditioned myself to associate stress with drinking to cope.

But the fact that my mind sort of defaulted back to what it knew made me realize that I don't have a ton of great 'coping skills' developed for bigger life stressors, like moving my family across the country.

I'm fairly physically active and eat well. I'm more looking for 'action plan' type things that can help me navigate my way through 'big stressors'
