Your very insightful fuz I’m Justin

Thanks, hard that part. I am not give up,

K so your passed the 4th day which in my opinion is the hardest day so you’re on the right track those pesky triggers aren’t easy but at least you can see them and that’s progress keep on track 

Get outside and walk in nature if possible. Be proud of your sobriety. Read a lot of helpful things that support sobriety. Distract your mind. Journal. Be kind and proud of yourself. I found it weird the days that I was triggered sometimes I could attribute it to nothing except I wanted to drink. I kept a counter and reminded myself I just have to complete today. Now day 1023. You can do this. We can do this.

Creating new habits helped me because my drinking was habitual. Changing little things can change old habits. I didn’t do much social stuff for probably six months or so. Had to stay away from all of it- focus on me. I found new rewards that I now find far more rewarding than drinking. But…in a meeting one time in my early recovery the subject turned to triggers. Dan said, “f triggers. I don’t believe in them. I’m a bullheaded alcoholic that loves my sobriety. There’s not a chance that I’m going to allow triggers. I’m stronger than any trigger. Fck triggers.” That has stuck with me. It’s not always that easy for me but I get it.
