Do you know your triggers? If so- how

I work for myself. It’s definitely a work in progress but I’m slowly building things up. I use creativity as a way to help women heal and recover, so that’s been my own spin on it. I work mainly with women who know they have a problem with their drinking and are trying to make changes before it gets worse.

My biggest trigger is Instagram. I’m a doorman in Manhattan and work weekend afternoons and evenings so while everyone is out living their lives and having fun and partying, I’m there in my head. Make the phone calls, another alcoholic or addict will definitely get you out of your own head. From my experience, it helps.

This is such great advice. I’ve noticed that I accept every invitation I get and never even consider the fact that I could just NOT go. I’m pushing myself to start really thinking about each situation beforehand now
