I find it hard to keep it sober, between 3 and 7pm. When I’m off work, or off, those are the hours, when I screw up, the most! Football is also, a huge trigger! Any suggestions, anybody?

I try to keep myself busy, it's hard because I really just want to relax but it's the only way I can find to keep my mind off of it.

The witching hours! Do back to back meetings if you have to. There are countless online. Try AA or Recovery Dharma, Refuge Recovery, Tempest, The Luckiest Club, This Naked Mind, podcasts on sobriety. The interviews on here are great! Throw some earbuds on and pass the time with people on the path. It really helps!! You’re not alone!!!

Go to a meeting during those times. Build a support group that you can check in with when you feel triggered.
