Some triggers are obvious (going to bars, having alcohol in the house, etc.) but I think that most of my problem was in my head.......wanting to do it all, thinking I had to be perfect, trying to make everyone happy. I was always stressed, always engaging in negative self-talk.
To stay sober, I had to find some inner peace and stop taking on the world. That meant accepting and loving myself and honoring my feelings/needs. It's not easy at first, but I started with the small stuff, like saying "SO, the house isn't clean - so what? I'm sober today - good job!"
Bottom line, I guess, is that if you can identify what triggers you, you can start making changes. Be patient with yourself and remember to take it one day (one trigger) at a time.:ghug3
