day level yields similar results as asking participants to report stressful events as they occur (Preston et al., 2018b). The three items were combined into a single index that indicated if a stressful event occurred that day (“1”) or not (“0”). Tiffany and Wray (2012) describe craving as an expression of desire or wanting for alcohol or drugs.

Thus, we opted for the average of two items was used to create an index of craving, “Right now, I could really use a drink” and “Right now, the idea of a drink is appealing,” to capture aspects of desire and want.
