Five,
I couldn't access the link on your post. Not sure where the problem lies but I am having trouble with my computer.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, I became aware of CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) through a post on this site a few months ago. I read up on it and use it now and then when I think I am reacting to issues on autopilot. I question my responses and try to understand the reasoning behind them. It is a useful tool for the occasions when the urge / desire to drink comes along. It is handy to know whether ones reactions are based on rationality or on habit / prejudice.
It seems to work for me and its one of the tools I keep handy.
I think it was Millwall who first brought this to my attention...anyone heard from him?
Regards
Michael
