Continuing the original:

I am Sober because of "M" Me. No one else did this, except me. I made the choice.

Triggers:
Stress, Frustration, Jealousy, there are more but those are the first ones I think of, Oh and PAIN, when it comes, I think how nice it would be to just pop an effing pill..

much love, G2C

X.......Hmmmm......"X" is for the "X-Ray" of my life I gave myself this morning when I decided to quit drinking. I thought and thought about what drinking has done to me and so on. I "X-Rayed" how things are and how things could be.

Oh! Good one on the "W"! That was funny!

This happens to be true for my situation too. I don't care how arrogant it sounds, I'm only sober because of me and I'm damned proud of it. My family is hundreds of miles away and the only friend who knows about my situation is far away, so the only person responsible for my sobriety is me and me alone. I f'ed myself up on my own, but I cleaned myself up on my own. I struggled through detox on my own and I continue day-to-day alone. With each passing day I give myself another pat on the back. 18 days today!

My triggers are simple - the "Two P's":

1- Pain. Really tough going without any sort of pain meds. ~15 years of spinal issues and the only relief came the last ~5 years from opiates/opioids. Really not sure what I'm going to do, the pain is progressing day after day (and not just the "reaction" pain that happens after detox, "real" pain is setting in).

2- Proximity. If I'm close to opiates, I'm probably taking them. Who am I fooling? My "cure" is staying completely away from them. Hopefully, as time progresses, I'll have the tools necessary to "say no" if/when I'm close in proximity to my DOC again.
