Does anyone find that years later sometimes it can just overwhelm you out of nowhere? Am I alone in this?

Yes, I was clean for over 3 or 4 years. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm bipolar. When I got a little hypomanic, I would think about partying. I'd drink alot but couldn't achieve "that" high. I wouldn't get drunk or really happy no matter how much I drank. I was trying to fill the void with booze.
But yes, I craved it so much. I told my therapist about it and my pdoc.
I enrolled in an Alcohol and Addictions program for 12 weeks or something, three days a week.
We had to abstain from alcohol and drugs. I quit drinking for 2 years, until now, but I stopped thinking about the drugs.
