close your eyes, and introspect.
Can you identify the stimuli, the triggers, and the situations, the driving forces, which create in you the desire and give rise to the urge to drink?
These driving forces can be anything, internal and external, tangible or intangible. These driving forces that encourage you to drink can be people, situations, events, parties, tendencies, moods, foods, social factors, organizational trends, practices, norms.
Do a simple exercise.
For the next week, or even a month, be yourself, live as you do, but?mindfully record all the occasions on which you had alcohol?and carefully list the?driving forces that motivated you to drink.
Was it a social event, party, friends, as an aperitif before some gourmet food, a sip of rum to enhance the pleasure of smoking, a shot of tequila to get you dancing, a drink of whisky to get you in the ?creative? mood, a potent exotic cocktail for reducing inhibitions or enhancing excitement as a prelude to sex, a quick shot of booze to pep you up and eliminate your tiredness, a neat shot of rum or whisky down the hatch to dive you Dutch Courage, a few drinks in company of friends to enhance your happiness, celebration, drinking in solitude to get rid of depression, boredom, or to obliterate memories of some people, sad memories, in moods of self pity, jealousy, inner craving, addiction??
Do it thoughtfully and make an exhaustive list of the?driving forces that urge you to drink alcohol.
Now, make a list of?restraining forces that discourage or inhibit you from drinking.
