edit after re-reading, to be clear: yes hunger has been a strong trigger for me and cause for many a slip/relapse. It helps to recognize it
Same for me too. Almost without fail everytime I get a drinking thought, it's when I am hungry. Once I have eaten, drinking doesn't enter my head at all.Hunger is a massive trigger for me. I used to drink on an empty stomach all the time, so it's no surprise. Food was very much a secondary activity for me when I was drinking, I only ate at the end of a session when I was about to pass out.
