Well done. HALT (Hunger-Angry-Lonely-Tired ) has been very important to my recovery. Both in the early weeks / months when the cravings and compulsion was strong, when any of those things could trigger me and easily have led me to drinking. But also now, while I still have my alcoholic thinking to work on if I'm going to remain comfortable in sobriety. Last night was one of the times when 2 of those HALT triggers were rattling away, and I needed to work my program hard to find acceptance and regain some serenity (enough so I'd get a good night's sleep anyway).

Please continue to be watchful of all those triggers. If there is nothing else in your daily plan, at least have routine strategies in place that will protect you from those four things.
