I'm bumping up a reminder in this thread about H.A.L.T.
Hungry
Anxious/Angry
Lonely
Tired
Remember that these are common triggers. If I feel thoughts or cravings coming on I stop in my tracks and take a quick inventory. Am I experiencing one of those triggers? Am I hungry? Grab a snack. Feeling Anxious? Slow down and breath deeply. Lonely? Log on here, talk to someone, chit chat. Tired? turn off the tv and take a nap, recharge my batteries.
