Boredom was probably the biggest reason I started drinking heavily. Back in 1989 I was 25, in the same relationship with a woman for several years and I was just bored with my life and needed excitement.
That led to several years of hanging in bars and partying real hard and that led to alcohol becoming a necessity in order to function.
After 20+ years of drinking everyday I didn't know how to stop and I feared what would happen if I did stop drinking.
I really don't have many triggers now cause I just refuse to go back to that misery.
