I realize the longer I am clean n sober...it's not the drugs n booze that's the trigger it's the situations the behaviors and the attitudes. If I do not practice emotional sobriety..I become very bitter and resentful. Meetings sober friends and family and pets all help keep me in check..just for today.

I feel this! It’s not the mug of suds I really want after a round of golf with the boys, it’s the fact that I know if I have one, I will be there the rest of the night and black out. It’s the memory of the few good times I had when I didn’t act a fool after a bottle of bourbon. It’s getting easier to recognize the triggers and I found I just have to avoid the situations. So no meet at the bar for one after golf.

I agree it's hard to realize our old behaviors no matter how familiar n fond the memories that come with them were the very same behaviors that were basically trying to kill us.
