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...

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

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....

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..

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.
