I have triggers one's porn can't be spiritually fit and watch porn. The other ciggerattes when I relapsed after four years of sobriety I admitally started smoking. Going to stay at my sisters this holiday and I can't smoke in front of her kids a good time to quit. The trigger of boredom I'm on disabillty not alot of money to do stuff. My friends all drink but my best friends support my recovery. My brother major trigger I relapsed on my own after four years but he stuck a beer in my face when I was in psychosis and I drank it sober nine days now I've block porn on my phone and computer but if I can quit smoking I think it will really help and changing places and playmates.

I definitely had to change the people that I hung around with once I quit. I found that many of my "friends" were simply drinking buddies anyway, once alcohol was out of the equation we really had nothing in common to talk about or do together anyway.

Regarding your other addictions, have you ever considered seeing a counselor or therapist, or perhaps attending some NA/AA meetings? Many of us have addictive personalities and simply shift one addiction to the next.

i quit a lot of things over the years only to do them again. But when I quit drinking the rest of the dominos fell and I was able to get ahold of the other issues. I have to wonder if drinking was really the main problem all along and the rest of my addictions where just accesories to the drinking addiction.

Point is in my case putting for all my energy on staying sober was worth it in time i was easily able to then quit smoking etc.. For me the 2 did go hand in hand but I didnt have the ability to focus on both at the same time not initially anyhow.
