    I have reset once in the last 50 days or so, for reasons I have posted elsewhere, and I am starting to become aware of triggers, and so far coping with them, but they can creep up on you too.

    I am by all accounts a very moderate drinker, having learnt a long time ago that after 3 drinks Mr Hyde starts stirring. So last night my boss takes me out for a few drinks, nothing too excessive but enough for me to have had a mild hangover this morning, the first in a long time. My first instinct was to MO, and I realised that that is what I've always always done in the past. I think now that it is the need for a dopamine fix as hangovers have always left me depressed exponentially to the severity of my hangover. It was nothing I couldn't handle and the moment passed, but the lesson learnt is always to expect the unexpected.

    I had such strong headaches but I knew that they were fake so I didn't relapsed and I knew that this was just temporary

    When I used to drink I used to get some of my strongest urges the morning after a bad binge. I always thought my body was reacting to the emergency of being poisoned by trying to reproduce as quickly as possible :confused:.

    Nicely put man, I never thought of it this way before, but yeah, the body is wanting to reproduce quickly after feeling poisoned.

    I've quit drinking to get drunk as I too have the Mr Hyde effect, but slight hang-overs have left me horny too.

    God there are triggers everywhere.
