Managing your sobriety is about Risk Management. Risk Managing your Triggers. Just like many projects may include a discussion about possible risks, they go on to consider what to do if those risks manifest. So too, for you, where your aim is to achieve a lifetime of sobriety.

You want to keep those old neural pathways shut down and not reactivate or re-open them by constant merry-go-round relapses and sometimes, binges. It begins with "Identifying" and "knowing" your Triggers. Anticipate them and have a plan of action for addressing them.

Carolyn Spring's articles are so good and helpful. They come to you from a whole different field of Triggers, outside of the foreseeable Sex, Porn, Love addiction patterns. You can learn from her, about the underlying "sameness" of Triggers and action you can take, no matter what may be the underlying recovery area in your life. Take a look at her links:
