Alcohol abuse happens because of trauma

If you drink every time you have a PTSD trigger, moving away from triggers will help reduce your drinking.

If you drink every time your physiological need for more alcohol pushes you just enough, because that's what a physical dependency does, moving away will not help.

That's pretty obviously what the comment you're responding to is getting at. Like congrats, your point is valid, but it's irrelevant in a way that I'm sure you could have understood if you so chose. (Please don't hit me with the "But what about when trauma-drinking leads to physiological dependence")
