So the triggers weren't actually triggering anymore. That is not a good place to be at, because...people and places are way harder to move past than other triggers...
Ever wondered how young people navigate the tricky terrain of recovery triggers? In this episode of 'Young and Recovering', guest host Kelly Solli from Youth to Youth International sits down with Jillian, a student at Heartland Recovery High School, to unpack this crucial topic. Jillian opens up about her personal experiences with triggers and shares practical strategies she's learned to manage them.
From the sensory memories that can unexpectedly spark a craving to the importance of peer support, this conversation is both enlightening and relatable. Jillian highlights that triggers are unique to each individual, often rooted in past experiences or sensory cues like smells or sounds. She emphasizes the need for tailored strategies, such as avoiding certain environments or people that might lead to relapse.
But it’s not all about avoidance; Jillian and Kelly also discuss the power of having a supportive friend group who understand and encourage sobriety. They touch on celebrating small victories, which can provide a sense of achievement and motivation to stay on track. This episode is a goldmine of insights for anyone curious about recovery or seeking practical advice on handling triggers.
Whether you’re a young person on your own recovery journey or someone supporting a loved one, you'll find valuable takeaways here.
