I can’t hang out with you
Why do I feel bad saying it when it applies?
How do I say it? What are the words I’m looking for?

Try not to blame the other. They are not a trigger, rather you get triggered. I’m sorry, but I’m working on bettering myself, and at the moment I’m having difficulty feeling at peace with myself when we are hanging out

I like that because it is true, I am having difficulty feeling at peace with myself with just the idea of hanging out. I want to tell her right away to get the idea out of my head.

Be honest with them why they are a trigger. Hard part in recovery is letting go of friends that threaten our sobriety. Doesn’t mean you are letting them go forever. Just that they can only be in your life if it enhances your recovery not takes away from it.

I told her “I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to hang out with you I want to stay sober today” she was nice about it and then we just text about our days. Then I went to the beach to do something I also called and talked to my peer recovery specialist. I used my tools and it worked I am pretty happy about that.
