Addiction can be a complex and challenging battle especially early in sobriety.  

In those early months of my recovery, it seemed like everything triggered me, and on many days I would have multiple triggers that would accumulate throughout the day and I was not sure if I was going to make it through the day.

Let me know if something like this has happened to you.  

Everything is going great.  You have put together some days, weeks, or even months of sobriety.  

Things are getting a little easier and you are starting to get confidence that you might make it this time.  

Then out of nowhere, something happens that triggers you.  

Then the nagging thought of a drink kicks in, and before you know it, another relapse.

So how do we navigate our sobriety, when it often seems like triggers are around every corner?  

Well, that is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
