Triggers

Let’s talk about triggers. If we’re honest, we know it’s easier to avoid temptation than resist it. That’s why keeping a cabinet full of “chocolate triggers” when you know you can’t stay out of it is a bad idea when you’re on a diet. Making plans to hit the bars when you’ve been sober for a year is a bad idea. When you have a person who takes you to a place of gossip or anger, going around them is a bad idea. Recognize triggers for what they are…temptations just waiting to take you back into bondage.
