Triggered and Sober with Nick

Did you survive Thanksgiving? Any urges to drink? That family drama and holidays hit the spots that want to hear the cork pop. I managed pretty well and even started decorating for Christmas, one of my favorite drinking activities. Listen in and I'll update you on how I'm coping and also chatting about relapses and what I call "realistic thinking."

Sorry for the lack of pods and no explanation. I went to Idaho to work on a film project and didn't have much time to record. This pod discusses my challenges in sobriety being out of state and around new people. And once again...airports, one of my biggest triggers.

Lawd!!! How do you all deal with these negative sober assholes?!?! The ones that find negativity in any situation or comment. Like damn! Listen in as I rant.

Why can I go balls to the wall for others when working but I can't do the same for myself? Being sober has brought all these feelings and insights that I used to run and hide from. My motivation is slowly coming back but not as fast as I'd like. How about you? Listen in and let's chat.

Is AA a cult? Have you heard that before? I had a FB interaction that had cult like messages. And the messenger was a prick lol.

Damn. The Fuck Its are at the door. I've opened it and we are staring at each other. What do I do? Why am I here. Let's chat.

*sigh*...I'm back. Took a little break. Work has been keeping me busy and I've been a bit...meh. On the struggle bus some. Lots of free time coming up...eek!

WTF happened to my self-control? I'm having cravings and trying to figure this shit out. Did I pour out the alcohol in my house? Listen in and learn when the light turned on for me about self-control.

I graduated from my treatment center, work is going great and I'm indulging in self-care. Time to self-sabotage and get fucked up. Addiction is calling...am I going to answer?

Chiiiiiiild...I'm about to finish my treatment at my recovery center. What will I do after? Decisions, decisions, let's discuss.
