You're right, we can always find a reason if we want to; I am the queen of rationalizations (isn't that one of the defenses some of us use? I know I have something about that somewhere). Also, I'm not sure if one night qualifies as a binge anyway.
While one thing may not be the trigger, sometimes it's just the release you (I) need that I can't seem to find anywhere else. However, a pile of things that I find a way to link together in my own consciousness can certainly set me off.
I try not to confuse myself so much anymore. If the consequences outweigh the benefit than I shouldn't drink. Simple as that for me. Also, as one rehab guy pounded into my head: don't take the first drink.
Hope you have a good day. I'm going to start cooking and I have a date w/Spongebob this afternoon.
best,
antigua
