JVR: yes- you’re
Right ! We’re not bad people…just
That the addiction feels like it can provide us with some kind of escape
From our pain…
The addiction has brought me nothing but pain
And aggravation and more
Broke
Than I was before ..
Yes- I would
Avoid any big triggers such as a toxic/ negative dealing with somebody
For sure ….
And I also struggle with loneliness…
Feelings of
Inadequacy…
I once heard an acronym
That makes total sense
It is : HALT…
It says to warn us when we are Hungry, angry , lonely or tired…
Or a combination of those..
And to take extra caution
If we are feeling any of those..,,
Those 4 things can also be a big trigger
And possibly cause us a set-back in our recovery…
