summer triggers

[sadinmichigan]

I was just wondering how many of us have a much harder time avoiding the "party" pit falls of summer fun..The BBQ, beach, some good rock n roll..I am finding that summer is a huge trigger for me..and I have been avoiding the BBq's etc..This will be my first summer off drugs in a long time..6 yrs..I have had the urge to use my doc..but even more to get a 6 pk or whatever..This is going to be a long trigger...

[Dieing2Live]

summers a huge trigger for me. my use of oxys started at my senior beach week at the ocean and i find it extremely hard wth the nice weather i just want to feel nice i guess. plus the sweats suck 10 times more in the summer

Summer has always been a hard time for me, but I was determined that our first trip this summer was going to be really hard, but it wasn't.  Lots of prayers and help from my friends have made me stronger than I would have ever imagined.  Have a great one!

I can use without drinking but no way if I drink guess what I am going places I really don't wish on my worst enemy. Well my worst enemy?? Just kidding you guys I could not wish that on anyone..... Just the opposite I wish all here clean time....... Alcohol or the like

[Coolio Hernendez]

Yeah!!! I know all about it. I am in a band that has alot of gigs at alot of cool party spots this summer. I hope i can be the cool guy in the band that does not do drugs....it's so hard....

[sadinmichigan]

I am really struggling here...One- i never thought I had an alcohol problem and two- I NEVER thought I had an alcohol problem.!!!!! or maybe I don't and I am just an addict willing to trade one for the other to the other...this is pissing me off..and why? because i can't drink? do drugs? wtf..why should that pi$$ me off..I seriously did not have cravings and all that stuff until recently..and then i had a few drinks..and the only reason i don't have a drink at the moment is because I don't have any $$.  SOOOOO.I am contemplating this thing..I have to say..it is pretty depressing..

[Brrrrad]

You really hit it.Summer is tough. I never thought of it as a trigger. Everyone sees it as a fun day at the park and i get the feeling "something is missing". That was a good call. I bet others that don`t have this prob. can understand when things like this come up.

[addict3]

Sad,
What have I told you about that drinking?!

[dominosarah]

I dont want to rain on anyones parade here but just be careful.  The alcohol can take you places you dont want to venture.  I do know what you are saying tho. My cravings for drinking are few and far between anymore but summer was always full of pills but then so was spring,fall and winter!!!!  Just be careful my friend.  

[CadillacJack]

Don't do it, Lisa. Other people have good times without alcohol, or drugs. We can too.

ok...I am being serious here...This is really the first time that I actually feel the need to do something...that is sad...and so far i am not passing the summer test..not doing pills, but by drinking....I guess i just really understand what you all are talking about ...TRIGGERS....craving...and all that bs..not liking it.

[sadinmichigan]

LMFAO still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   good one Mike....

[confused456]

LMAO...I think I shouldn't have been mixing my drinks with booze last night!! How OBVIOUS was that?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Sorry friends!!

[Mikeinthesouth]

I am a lil late here but still thought this was funny. I hear you confused I never mix drinks and booze either. I hate when I did that it seemed to make me drunk... Whats really bad is when someone slips some drinks in yer booze what do they call that a mickie???? Can we say inebriated????????  

[sadinmichigan]

I love you too.CJ  and i will have to try again tomarrow..dang....I think I will go cut my hair now...LOL

[CadillacJack]

If you're gonna drink, turn it up & make it bubble! All seriousness aside though, substitute. Club soda, pepsi, whatever may work. Might trade Jimi for some B.B. King, or Eric Clapton. Classic blues. Just change a few things, and maybe you will be able to change your mood.
I still love you, no matter what.
