Trigger this weekend

[catlover8]

I have been doing so well. On Saturday night, I was going to hang out with my friend, and he called and said he had hurt himself on his motorcycle. He was going to stop by a friends house for some pain pills. I immediately started salivating over the feelings I knew he was sure to feel after he took those vicodin. Happy, relaxed, euphoric. I became angry. As I was on my way over to hang out, the battery went dead in my car. Talk about divine intervention. I did not have to see him like that. Truth is, I am the addict, not him. How can I be mad that he hurts himself and needs pain pills. I can't. But, it did trigger me to want to use bad. I did not use.

Awesome Job!!

That is one he11 of a test and you passed with flying colors even though your battery went dead. Not all of us would have been able to abstain but you did. This is solid proof that you are strong!!

Way to go on not using and your clean time. I think almost all of us addicts have triggers, even ones we can not avoid sometimes. I can't be around drugs either, it would be an instant craving most times. Keep getting support and keep your guard up, your doing great. Congrats and one day at a time:)

Congrats on not using.  It can be so frustrating that we have to literally rearrange our lives sometimes.. I know for me, I cannot be around anyone who has a pain pill, or I am craving like a lunatic.  Its disgusting.  Even family members who TRULY need their medication I have to avoid.  Sounds terrible, but for ME that's the way it is.  I agree about your divine intervention - God is always looking out for us.  Best of luck and congrats again.
