good question, balrog. when you get the urge notice what's around you that triggers the urge. those situations be they people places or things are what right now imho you should stay away from. depression was a trigger for me to drink/self medicate. i went to therapy to understand the reason for the depression to fix it. many times the urge/trigger can be something mundane too. jounaling helped me too. i know it sounds stupid to write down your thoughts but it can inform you of the cause and affect (urge)
thank you for your honesty. i hope this may help you.
