ah "the 5 minute rule" my hokie therapist gave me that rule. There are people that we know will push our buttons. For me its a couple of family members. When they call, they get 5 minutes. I know they are ok, they know Im ok...and HAVE A GOOD DAY! If I give them more time I can potentially get upset/triggered and want to drink. Its working!
