Seven Days Sober - hitting triggers
I got lucky that my recovery plan meant vitamins and meds already prescribed and a planned quit date. Seven days sober and my husband is out of town. My biggest trigger (there is a PTSD component in there) is being alone. I am not alone. I have a child and I almost died the last time he went out of town.
I am alone. That is a major trigger. I can only say I experienced a major trauma alone while pregnant and it still affects me despite therapy.
I am glad I found this place again. Reading your stories makes me feel like I am not alone. I am gonna hit those triggers this week. I am not going to fall. I played Legos with my kid for two hours tonight. Best two hours of my life. I want that to continue.
I poured the wine I bought down the drain. I can do this. I am glad I found this place.
