In my case, once an addict, always an addict.

I quit drugs a few years before I quit drinking. It was alcohol that brought me to Sober Recovery, alcoholism the reason I chose sobriety. One day walking the dog, I found someone's drug stash in a club parking lot and knew the second I picked it up what it was and what I was going to do. In that instant I yearned for the feeling that the drug gave me. That elusive high that captured me after the first time I took it.

Is that a trigger? I don't know. Nothing triggered that desire except my addiction, which had been lying in wait for over five years.
