My Triggers
You know when it's a week night and I have to go work the next day I am fine. Really not a problem. But when I have an affair or event to go to as we'll as vacations and holidays, those are the kinds of things that I struggle with. Wish I had answers for these problems but I just don't. I don't want to become a social outcast but going out and doing these sort of things sets me off.
Keeping it simple!

Hi TJ,
Personally, I would rather be a sober social outcast other than being a drunk social person.
I think carefully about going to affairs or events that might trigger me. If I go to something because I'm not sure how much drinking is involved, I will always have a plan in case I need to leave. I won't stay anywhere if I'm not feeling "safe".
Unfortunately sometimes when we quit, we lose friends and places we use to go to. I couldn't stay sober if I continuted to do the samethings over and over again. I had to change these things.
Nothing is more important than my sobriety. This is now my mindset.
