I’ve noticed that my biggest triggers are any minor conflict with people and boredom. As far as conflict, my drunk way was to simply avoid people (very maladaptive). When bored, I’d simply drink more.
I am now trying to view conflict as a part of the human condition and not to blow things out of proportion. Boredom is easier as I am now engaged in more exercise and reading.
Anyone else experience these same triggers?
Hi Cando24. I can relate. Triggers for me are boredom, stress, and hunger. I'm doing my best to try to keep busy with other things to avoid the boredom trigger. I've been drinking water like crazy when I get hungry to avoid that trigger, but the stress of work... I'm still working on... so far this past week was ok. Cheering for both of us!! All the best!
