I thought this would be a good exercise to help newbies if we did a little sharing on triggers and the difficulty/ease of ignoring them pre and post TSM. Give them some real experiences for their future hope building...

My usual triggesr pre TSM were just being alive, and it just being 5pm!! Now that the cure button has been hit I can easily ignore triggers - this is just so amazing to me. It's the "being able to take a deep breath and say nah"

But talking of triggers: today being Good Friday hubby and I spent 2 1/2 hours in Church, and coming home to see our neighbours in shorts and tank tops partying in their yard was very sad for us (not judging, just observing). I really felt bad and got pretty irritated at hubby as he was being smart-assed with me...this within an hour from Church (yikes!!!!!). Anyway to cut to the chase, I really wanted a drink!!!!!

But I gave it a thought and guess what? No drink. This would have NEVER happened just a few short months ago. My hand would have reached out for the bottle, I would have had too much just because I'm an idiot, and I would have felt guilty (like a good little Catholic girl ;} ) Hubby went out on the porch to cool off and I'm feeling bad that I got so crabby. I think I'll go out and give him a kiss - never would have done that pre TSM either !!!

Oh Please I am a good jewish girl Mr. P grew up in a very good christian home so really if If either one of cheats it's not a sin. But as a woman (or a man) you want someone to love you for you and when you say for better or worse do they really mean it?

I can tell you with all my heart they do, just tell them the truth, tell how you got lost. They won't understand because they will never be here, but at the end of they day they might stay.

And of course it's ok to be crabby... I mean bottle or no bottle love drives you crazy... it's the way it goes.
